Your landlord's policy doesn't cover your stuff.
If you rent — an apartment, house, condo, or single room — renters insurance protects your belongings, your liability for accidents in your unit, and a place to stay if it becomes unlivable. It's one of the most affordable policies you can buy, and one of the most commonly skipped. Many landlords now require it as a condition of the lease.

Who it’s for
Anyone renting their home — including students, roommates, military families, and short-term residents.
What it covers
Furniture, electronics, clothing, kitchen items — anything you'd take with you when you move. Coverage typically extends off-premises, so a laptop stolen from your car is still covered.
Pays if a guest is injured in your unit, or if you accidentally damage someone else’s property — including a neighbor’s apartment from an overflowing sink.
Hotel, meals, and additional living expenses if your unit becomes uninhabitable after a covered loss like a fire or major water damage.
A small no-fault benefit for minor injuries to a visitor in your home — useful for handling a scrape before it turns into a lawsuit.
