Renting can offer flexibility, convenience, and fewer maintenance responsibilities. However, renters still need to understand how insurance applies to their belongings and liability risks. If a fire, theft, water damage event, or other loss occurs, your landlord’s insurance may apply to the building itself, but it generally does not apply to your personal property or your personal liability.
That means it is up to you to insure your belongings and consider liability options while you rent.
