Why Students Need Renters Insurance

Your landlord's policy covers the building—not your belongings. Renters insurance helps protect your electronics, personal property, liability, and temporary living expenses after a covered loss.

Protect laptops, phones, and personal belongings
Meet landlord insurance requirements
Liability coverage for accidents and injuries
Temporary housing after covered losses
Protection at home and while traveling

A few essential items can add up quickly. Renters insurance offers affordable protection and peace of mind while you're focused on school.

Your Landlord's Policy Does Not Cover Your Stuff

This is the most common misconception among renters, especially students. Your landlord carries insurance on the building structure — walls, roof, common areas. Their policy explicitly excludes tenant belongings. If a fire or flood damages your apartment, the landlord's insurance rebuilds the unit. Your things inside? That is entirely on you.

Renters insurance fills that gap for as little as $10 a month. It covers your personal property, provides liability protection, and can even pay for temporary housing if you cannot live in your apartment after a covered loss.
