Renters insurance
A tenant’s policy covering personal belongings and liability, which a landlord’s policy does not cover.
The landlord’s policy covers the building, not the tenant’s possessions or personal liability. Renters insurance covers those, usually inexpensively, and many leases require it.
Liability coverage is the part tenants underestimate. It responds when a tenant is responsible for damage or injury.
