Renter's insurance

Our Requirements and What You Need To Know

Renter's Insurance is Required at Home Path Property Management

At Home Path Property Management, we require all tenants to carry renter’s insurance for their unit. This insurance is not only a protection for your belongings but also helps safeguard you in case of unforeseen events. We understand that accidents and disasters can happen, and having the right coverage can offer you peace of mind.

When choosing a renter’s insurance policy, there are many factors to consider. Often, you can bundle your renter’s insurance with your car insurance to save on premiums. However, it is essential to balance cost with the coverage you need. While lower-priced policies may be tempting, they often come with limited coverage, so make sure to evaluate the protection offered to find the best plan for your household.

Types of Coverage

Renter’s insurance policies typically include three main types of coverage:

Personal Property
This covers your personal belongings, such as furniture, electronics, clothing, and other valuables, in case of damage, theft, or destruction (e.g., due to fire, theft, or vandalism). Ensure that your policy provides sufficient coverage to replace your possessions if needed.
Liability
Liability coverage helps protect you in case you’re held responsible for damage or injury to others while on your property. For example, if a guest were to slip and fall in your unit, this coverage would help cover medical costs and legal expenses, if necessary.
Living Expenses
If your rental unit becomes uninhabitable due to a covered loss (e.g., fire or flood), living expenses coverage can help with the cost of temporary housing, meals, and other necessary expenses while your unit is being repaired.

Preparing for the Unexpected

When selecting a renter’s insurance plan, it is a good idea to keep an inventory of your valuable belongings. This will help you ensure your coverage is adequate and make it easier to file a claim if necessary. Consider creating a written list, taking photos, or using a digital inventory tool to document items such as electronics, jewelry, and important documents.
