Renters Beware
Special
Notice to All Renters: BEWARE!!
What would you do today if you lost everything in a fire?
Many renters today assume that their landlord’s insurance will cover
the replacement value of their personal belongings: furniture,
clothes, appliances. . . items that in many cases may amount to
everything that your family owns. But the landlord’s property
insurance seldom, if ever, covers your individual personal items.
Often fires may occur through no fault of your own, but an accident
in another apartment (or even the house next door) can quickly
change the lives of your family. One way your family can have
some peace of mind and have some cash to help replace lost items is
to buy rental insurance. As a tenant you may be surprised to
find out just how inexpensive rental insurance can be. For
example, some insurance companies offer a $25,000 policy that costs
just $20 a month . . . and the insurance covers more than just fire
loss. Talk to your insurance agent. You may find that if
you rent you can assure yourself that if tragedy strikes your home
everything that you’ve worked so hard to get doesn’t just go up in
smoke.
