Do you rent your home? If so, it\u2019s worth strongly considering buying renters insurance<\/u><\/a>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n Not everybody who rents a home necessarily needs renters insurance. Because of this, it\u2019s not easy for the average renter to know whether or not they need it.<\/p>\n\n\n\n Renting your home and wondering if you need renters insurance? Our guide will reveal the primary signs that renters insurance is right for you, your home, and your needs.<\/p>\n\n\n\n Unlike car insurance<\/u><\/a>, renters insurance is usually optional. But in some cases, you may not have much of a choice.<\/p>\n\n\n\n Some landlords may require you to take out renters insurance before you can sign the lease. As annoying as this is, it is perfectly within the landlord\u2019s legal rights to make such a request.<\/p>\n\n\n\n Why would a landlord require you to take out renters insurance? The most basic reason is that your landlord\u2019s insurance policy will only cover the structure of the home and the grounds it is on. Because the policy doesn\u2019t protect the interior of your home, they may want you to get renters insurance to take up the slack.<\/p>\n\n\n\n And in some cases, the landlord\u2019s own insurance company may require that tenants have renters insurance. In that scenario, the landlord\u2019s hands are completely tied.<\/p>\n\n\n\nYour Landlord Requires It<\/h2>\n\n\n\n
