WHAT IS TENANTS INSURANCE?
Tenants insurance, which is also known as renters insurance, is a property insurance that provides coverage for a tenants' belongings, liabilities, and in certain cases, their living expenses in the event of loss. Tenant insurance is for individuals renting a single-family unit (home, apartment, condo etc). In addition, all tenants must know that they are not covered under their landlords’ home insurance, despite them living under their property. With how inexpensive it is to set up a tenants policy, as well as how clear-cut the coverages apply to protect your living situation, Tenants insurance has become a staple in the renting industry.
