FAQs

Your questions, answered

Many people that rent don’t know they need renters’ insurance. Sure, your landlord may have insurance for the building, however, that coverage does not extend to your personal property or liability.

Renters insurance can help protect you from the unexpected. Think what would happen to your furniture, clothing, or electronics if there was a fire, sudden water damage from a broken pipe or a burglar broke into your apartment and took your belongings. Now think about what would happen if someone slipped in your kitchen or your pet accidently damaged someone’s property. Renters insurance can help cover your belongings, temporary housing, your legal liability including defense costs, medical bills for others and more.

Most renters’ policies have 3 key elements: the premium, which is how much you pay for coverage, deductibles, which is how much you’re responsible for out-of-pocket in the event of a covered claim, and limits, which is the most your insurer will pay for a covered claim.

Also, did you know that having renters’ insurance may also lower your car insurance? It’s a win-win.

Through the program, you may have access to an NEA member discount on renters insurance. This discount is not available to the general public.

Your insurance representative could help you determine the renters coverage that best fits your needs and budget, but a typical policy can cover:
  • Damage to furniture, clothing, and other personal items, whether they’re in your home or elsewhere
  • Additional living expenses if you are forced out of your home by a covered loss
  • Your personal liability in the event someone is injured, or their property is damaged

A few key questions you should consider before buying a policy: 
  • How much of a deductible can you afford to pay if you have a loss?
  • How much would it cost to repair or replace your belongings?
  • Do you have any valuables that require extra protection?
  • Do you have frequent visitors over?
  • Have you made any improvements to your rental worth protecting?
  • Do you qualify for any discounts?
