  2. Since I am a renter, will my landlord will cover property damages– the answer is “NO”. Landlord’s policy covers only the building they own. So you are at risk for your own property if it becomes damaged.
  3. I don’t have enough stuff to need renter’s insurance –  A common reason individuals avoid renters insurance is they do not think their belongings are worth the coverage. “Many renters underestimate the value of their possessions and would be surprised by how much it would cost to replace the items they have accumulated.
