Renters · North Carolina
Half the Triangle rents. The building belongs to the landlord, but the laptop, the couch, and the bike inside all belong to you, and their policy covers none of it.
Renters coverage is the cheapest policy most people ever buy. Here's everything packed into it.
Electronics, furniture, clothes, kitchen gear. Fire, theft, vandalism, and burst-pipe water damage, at home or away from it.
Core coverageA friend gets hurt at your place, or your overflowing tub damages the unit downstairs. This pays when you're on the hook.
Core coverageIf your unit becomes unlivable after a covered loss, the policy pays for a hotel and meals while it gets fixed.
Core coverageCovers small injuries to guests without anyone hiring a lawyer first.
IncludedThe engagement ring, the camera body, the guitar. Big-ticket items can be listed separately so their full value is protected.
OptionalAdd renters to your auto policy and the combined discount often covers most of what the renters policy costs.
DiscountThe policy people skip because they think they don't own enough. Add up your closet and think again.
Your landlord insures the building. If the unit burns, their policy rebuilds the walls and nothing you kept inside them. Industry standard.
National averages put renters insurance around $15 to $20 a month. Source: Insurance Information Institute.
North Carolina law doesn't make renters carry insurance, but plenty of Triangle apartment complexes write it into the lease. Look before you sign. Industry practice.
Personal property coverage generally follows your things: the laptop stolen from your car in the RTP parking deck, the bag lost on a flight home. Industry standard.
