If you are a renter, it is important to have insurance coverage to protect your computer, clothes, TVs, furniture, electronics and other personal belongings. Before you purchase renters insurance, take the time to compile a complete inventory with a photo log of the personal belongings you intend to be protected by the coverage such as:
- List Items by Brand/Make/Model/Year
- Note Which Room Each Item is Located
- Keep Receipts or Denote Purchase Price
- Establish a Replacement Value for Unique Items
- Include Appliances & Musical Instruments
- Keep Inventory List & Photos Offsite
When a disaster strikes, the landlord of property owner’s rental insurance will cover damages to their building but not for private property contained in your rented space.
