Renter's insurance.

It's inexpensive, often required, and it's the thing that turns a bad day into a manageable one. Here's what it actually covers and how to keep it organized with the rest of your rental.

What's normal
Most leases require it. Most policies cost less than a delivery order per month.
Your plays
Save the declarations page in My Rental so it's ready whenever you need it.
What's raising eyebrows
A property team quoting a specific carrier as the only option. You can shop it.

Renter's insurance covers three things most renters underestimate: your stuff, your liability, and temporary housing when the unit isn't livable. It does not cover the building itself — that's the landlord's policy.

Look for: personal property limits that match what you actually own, a liability limit your lease requires (often $100k), a deductible you'd actually pay, and whether the property management is listed as an "additional interest" (a notification address, not a payee).

Your policy lives in My Rental Documents
Save the declarations page and structured details once, and every future experience — claim help, comparisons, renewal reminders — reads from the same record.
