Frequently Asked Questions

While renters insurance isn't a mandatory requirement, we strongly urge you to secure a policy. This small monthly investment offers significant peace of mind and crucial financial protection for your personal property.

Why is Renters Insurance So Important?

Safeguard Your Valuables: Imagine losing everything you own in a fire, or having your laptop and jewelry stolen. Renters insurance provides the financial means to repair or replace your personal belongings due to a wide range of perils, including:
  • Fire and smoke damage
  • Theft
  • Vandalism
  • Water damage (from burst pipes, etc.)
  • Certain natural disasters (check your policy for specifics)
Landlord's Insurance Doesn't Cover You: It's a common misconception that your landlord's property insurance will protect your personal items. This is not the case. Our WC Smith property insurance explicitly covers the building itself, but it offers no coverage for your furniture, electronics, clothing, or any other personal possessions within your rented unit. Without renters insurance, you would be solely responsible for the cost of replacing everything out of your own pocket.

Affordable Peace of Mind: The cost of renters insurance is remarkably low, typically ranging from just $12 to $20 per month. This small premium is a negligible expense when weighed against the potential cost of replacing all your belongings, which could amount to thousands of dollars.

Flexibility and Choice: You are free to choose any insurance provider you prefer. We recommend comparing quotes from various companies to find the best coverage and rate that suits your needs.

Don't wait until disaster strikes to realize the value of renters insurance. Protect your possessions and your financial well-being with this affordable and essential coverage.
