Renters Insurance: Protection for Tenants

Renters Insurance is a low-cost policy that protects tenants living in apartments, condos, or rented homes. While your landlord ensures the building, their policy does not cover your personal belongings or your liability. This coverage ensures that if a fire destroys your apartment or someone slips in your kitchen, you aren’t left with the bill.

The “Risk Reality”: The Landlord Gap

A common myth is that “the landlord covers everything.” This is false. If a pipe bursts and ruins your electronics, the landlord fixes the pipe, but you replace the electronics. According to the Insurance Information Institute, nearly 95% of homeowners are insured, but less than half of renters have coverage. Without it, you are one theft or kitchen fire away from losing all your possessions with no recourse.

Renters Insurance Coverage

We provide packages that protect your stuff, your liability, and your place to sleep.

What is Covered
Personal Property: Pays to replace clothes, furniture, and electronics damaged by fire, theft, or vandalism.
Liability Protection: Covers legal fees and medical bills if you accidentally injure someone or damage their property (e.g., your dog bites a guest).
Loss of Use: Pays for hotel bills and food costs if your apartment becomes uninhabitable due to a covered claim.
Medical Payments: Covers minor medical bills for guests injured in your home, regardless of fault.
What is NOT Covered (Exclusions)
Floods: External flooding (rivers/rain) is excluded and requires a separate flood policy.
Roommate’s Property: Coverage applies to you. Your roommate needs their own policy unless specifically endorsed.

The “Dream” Difference: Standard vs. Comprehensive

Most direct quotes only cover the basics in the left column. We shop multiple carriers to secure the critical add-ons in the right column that actually protect your livelihood.

Renters Insurance Cost

“How much does renters insurance cost?” It is one of the most affordable insurance products available.

  • Monthly Average: According to industry market data, the average renters insurance policy costs between $15 and $20 per month ($180-$240 annually).
  • Replacement Cost vs. ACV: Opting for “Replacement Cost” (New for Old) instead of “Actual Cash Value” (Depreciated Value) costs slightly more but offers much better protection.
  • Bundling: Bundling renters insurance with your auto policy often generates a discount that covers the entire cost of the renters policy.

The “Independent Difference”: Why Dream Assurance?

Even for simple policies, choice matters. “Independent Means Multiple Choices” helps you find carriers that offer specific endorsements for electronics or jewelry.

  • High-Value Items: We help you “schedule” expensive items like engagement rings or high-end bicycles that might exceed standard policy limits.
  • Seamless Bundling: We check which of our carriers offers the best multi-policy discount when paired with your car insurance.
  • Personal Advocacy: If you are displaced by a fire, our team helps you process the “Loss of Use” claim quickly so you have a place to stay.

Mr. Andre was a massive help beginning to end! He helped us get a great deal on our insurance, and explained everything thoroughly. It isn’t every day you get an insurance agent that you feel actually know what’s they’re talking about AND has your best interest in mind, but he definitely cares about his clients! Thanks Andre, and thanks Dream Assurance!
