Tenant insurance is an insurance policy that covers the contents of a rental unit like a house, apartment, or condominium.
In the event of fire, theft, vandalism, or water damage, the policy can cover the contents of the unit and some personal liability.
While your landlord’s policy protects the building, your personal property isn’t protected. Tenant insurance helps provide coverage if you’re displaced and need to move out temporarily or may provide personal liability coverage, helping to protect you if you’re sued.
