Tenant insurance
If a listing on Rentably says tenant insurance is required, this is what your landlord is asking for — and you can get a quote for it right here.
What it covers
Your belongings
Furniture, electronics, clothing and everything else you own, against things like fire, theft and water damage. The landlord’s policy covers the building, not what is inside your unit.
Your liability
What you owe if someone is hurt in your unit, or if damage starting in your unit spreads to the rest of the building. This is usually the part a lease sets a minimum for.
Somewhere to stay
Additional living expenses if your unit becomes unlivable and you have to move out while it is repaired.
Many landlords ask for proof of a policy before handing over keys, and some set a minimum liability amount in the lease. Check your lease for the number before you buy, because the policy has to meet it.
