renters insurance

Lessee liability protection

Renters insurance is a policy that protects tenants against loss of personal property and liability claims.

It covers belongings damaged or stolen from a rental unit, and shields renters from lawsuits if someone is injured in their home: The landlord requires proof of renters insurance before move-in.

Unlike homeowners insurance, it doesn't cover the building itself.
