What renters insurance may address

A renters policy is designed for the tenant’s needs; it is separate from the owner’s property insurance. Depending on the policy, options may include:

01 · Your belongings

Review the amount and types of belongings you want to insure, along with any special limits or exclusions that may apply.

02 · Liability

Ask about personal liability coverage and how the policy defines covered claims, exclusions and limits.

03 · Living expenses

Some policies may include coverage for certain additional living expenses after a covered loss. Check the specific form, limit and conditions.

Your landlord’s insurance and yours

The building owner insures the property. That does not mean your furniture, clothing and electronics are protected by the landlord’s policy.

Your renters policy addresses your own coverage needs. Review belongings, liability and living-expense limits separately, and check how the policy values damaged items.

Before move-in: check your lease

Have the insurance section of your lease nearby when you compare options. Requirements vary by property and landlord.

  • Confirm the required liability limit and any other requested coverage.
  • Check the full rental address and unit number.
  • Confirm your move-in date and requested policy start date.
  • Ask how the landlord or property manager must be listed; interested party and additional insured are different terms.
  • Find out where and when proof of coverage must be delivered.

What affects the price?

Your rental location, selected limits, deductible and insurer’s rating criteria affect the quote. Compare coverage and exclusions as well as the premium.

There is no single price for every Broward renter. Use the online quote or ask our team to review options for your situation.

A quick belongings worksheet

Work through one room at a time. Write down an estimated replacement cost for each group, then add the amounts. Keep the list and photos privately for your own records.

  • Living area: sofa, tables, television and other electronics — $_____
  • Bedroom: bed, furniture, clothing and shoes — $_____
  • Kitchen: cookware, dishes and small appliances — $_____
  • Other: bicycle, hobby equipment and personal items — $_____
  • Estimated total — $_____

This is an inventory starting point, not a recommended policy limit. Ask about special limits for jewelry or other valuables and how claims are settled.

Want guidance first? Our short agency request asks for your name, phone and ZIP. Share your move-in date or lease questions in the optional details field. You can also call (800) 310-2743.

An inquiry or quote does not start coverage. Confirm the issued policy and effective date before using it as proof for your landlord.

Ask separately about flood coverage

Do not assume a renters policy covers flood damage to belongings. Flood coverage is a separate subject to review, and availability and terms vary. See our Broward County flood insurance information or tell us you want to discuss it.

Renters insurance questions

Does my landlord’s policy cover my belongings?

Do not assume it does. The landlord’s policy and your own renters coverage serve different purposes; review the policies and lease requirements.

Do I need to know the exact value of everything before I request a quote?

No. Start the request and our team can explain what information would help compare options.

Does a quote request satisfy my lease requirement?

Not by itself. Check your lease and provide any required proof only after coverage is issued and confirmed.

Will my roommate be covered?

Ask the insurer who qualifies as an insured. Do not assume sharing an address includes another person on your policy.

Can I request coverage for a rented house?

Yes. Tell us whether you rent a house, condo or apartment.

What happens when I move?

Contact the insurer or our team before moving to review the address, effective date and any changes needed.

When does coverage begin?

Confirm the effective date and completion requirements with the provider. A request does not bind insurance.
