Is renter’s insurance required?
Renters insurance isn’t required by law, but your landlord or property management company may require renters insurance as part of your lease agreement. If your personal property is stolen or damaged in a fire, your landlord typically won’t cover anything.
But just because renters insurance isn’t required doesn’t mean you should forego coverage altogether. Renters insurance may be able to help if you need to live elsewhere due to a covered loss or you’re deemed liable for someone else’s injuries.
Keep in mind that different states have different reasons you may want to consider renters insurance coverage to help protect your belongings due to specific factors in your state.
