If you’re a veteran who owns his own home, you probably have homeowners insurance. If you’re renting or planning to rent, you may have never considered renters insurance, since you place of residence is owned by someone else. However, there can be some very good reasons to have renters insurance.
Protect Your Property With Renters InsuranceEven though your home may be owned by someone else, the property inside that belongs to you is your responsibility. Should your belongings be destroyed in a fire or stolen for reasons not due to the negligence of the landlord, you may have no recourse to recover damages. Even though renters insurance may seem like a nuisance expense now, you will be very pleased that you have it if an accident should befall your most valued possessions.
Personal Property Coverage Of Renters InsurancePersonal property coverage covers, as you might imagine, your personal items. You can get a named perils or all risks policy. In a named perils policy, only damages or loss due to occurrences specifically covered in the policy are reimbursable. In an all risks policy, only occurrences specifically excluded are not covered. As you might imagine, the premium for an all risks policy is usually higher. You will also have to decide between cash value and replacement cost. A cash value policy replaces items at their current value, whereas the replacement cost policy replaces them at their original value.

If you have valuables in your place of residence that needs protecting, don’t discount the value of renters insurance. It is relatively inexpensive and could help you out of a tough spot in unforeseen circumstances.
