You probably know that renter’s insurance covers your personal possessions, but most policies also include additional coverage that makes it well worth the very reasonable cost; 1. Coverage of your possessions when you travel, such as theft from your car or stolen luggage. 2. Liability coverage should a visitor be injured in your rental. For example, a bite from ‘Fido’. 3. Loss of use coverage, if the home becomes damaged and uninhabitable, will help with cost of temporary housing and more. 4. Your landlord’s policy does not cover any of the above, so it’s up to you to make sure you are protected if the unforeseen should occur.
