Affordable Renters Insurance Chicago
Unlike car insurance, renters insurance is not required by law. However, some apartment complexes and landlords may require insurance to sign a lease. For instance if you rent an apartment or a house. Then an affordable renters insurance policy is the best way to cover your property.
Some renters wrongly assume that their landlord’s property insurance policy covers their belongings. For instance, anything inside a rented apartment or house is only covered through this policy. A study by ORC International, only 37 percent of renters have an insurance policy.
Renters may think their belongings are not valuable, monetarily speaking. However, electronics alone could take thousands of dollars to replace. For instance, one scenario most renters often overlook is injuries. If someone gets hurt on your rented space, the injured person may also sue you.
The average cost of an insurance policy is $171 a year in Illinois, according to Value Penguin. This breaks down to $14.25 a month.
Renters insurance provides coverage for your personal belongings, liability, loss of use and medical payments caused by perils listed on your policy.
Common perils include:
- Windstorms
- Fire and smoke
- Lightning
- Hail
- Tornadoes
- Explosions
- Theft and vandalism
- Falling objects
- Weight of snow, sleet, or ice
- Water damage, excluding floods
