It provides protection for your personal belongings and offers liability coverage in case of accidents that occur on your rental property. In this video, we will explain everything you need to know about renters insurance, including what it covers, why you need it, and how to get it.
Renters insurance offers coverage for the loss or damage of your personal belongings such as furniture, electronics, clothing, and jewelry.

Additionally, it includes liability coverage, which protects you in case someone is injured on your property and sues you for damages.
One of the most important reasons to have renters insurance is to safeguard your valuable possessions. Even if you're renting, you still have items of value that you want to protect in case of loss or damage.

Renters insurance provides peace of mind, knowing that you and your belongings are protected.
Obtaining renters insurance is easy and affordable. You can purchase a policy through your insurance agent or online, and the cost of renters insurance varies depending on the coverage you choose. Bundling your renters insurance with other types of insurance, such as car insurance, can also save you money.
Renters insurance is a must-have for anyone who is renting a home or apartment. It provides protection for your personal belongings and liability coverage in case someone is injured on your property. It's affordable and easy to get, so make sure to consider renters insurance as part of your overall insurance plan.

My apt flooded I lost everything.. State Farm renters insurance does not cover floods. It’s in the fine print. So I got nothing
Wow this exactly what I thought it was some BS for me to waste more money on. The apartment complex went up on rent and now trying to make this mandatory. I haven't had problems in the past 5 years why now?
This was a great video! The stories really elevated my understanding however unfortunate the circumstances 😂
Good point.......
Mine is under 14 bucks a month..sooo well worth it
Does renter's insurance cover placement for housing while a home is being remediated for mold? I have a renter's policy but don't know how to file the claim, or what it would fall under. Kinda leery of getting advice from the insurance agency. Thanks
for this informative 3 year old video.
I'm pretty sure that renters insurance wouldn't help if you had a flood.
Eh I think your estimate of ⅓ of Americans being renters is way off. It’s probably more like ⅓ of Americans are homeowners
What if the power keeps shutting down because of the building being in poor condition and it destroys my PlayStation 5?
Thank you I will follow exactly what you said about renter insurance, especially replacement value.
You boys are great together and you should do movies, I’d watch or a tv show. Your really funny, you remind me of cheeks and Chong
Super helpful video you guys, appreciate it!! 💯
I know it is unlikely or seems unlikely but in case of a fire you will become homeless with no possessions in minutes I watched the house across the street from me catch on fire and three of the renters kept forgetting to get renters insurance so they nowhere to go and nothing but the clothes they had on😔 and that is when I got renters insurance! I think it's cheap enough a month to have for fires, break-ins, water damage etc.
I was told from State Farm my renters insurance does not cover for flood and that must don’t include that on policy . Guess you need to get extra policy ?
Renter insurance is scam
Is the renters insurance for one apartment applies to any new apartment you move to?
Great video
Just to clarify ... it's Actual Cash Value (ACV) vs. Replacement Cost
THANK YOU GUYS FOR THIS VIDEO !! Genuinely being 22 I found this to be so so so so so much of a life saver
Thank you. 🙏
i want to house hack my house by renting the other bedrooms. Is it possible to get rental insurance for this ? thanks
If you have a roommate, do you both get separate renters insurance or can you both be on the same one?
