You’re Paying for WiFi, Streaming and Subscriptions. Why Not Renters Insurance?

You may not think twice about budgeting for WiFi, streaming services, or monthly subscriptions. But have you ever considered how renters insurance could offer financial protection for your belongings and might also represent an essential budget item?

Why Renters Insurance Matters

It’s easy to assume that your landlord’s insurance will cover your personal items or liability in case of an unforeseen event. Unfortunately, landlord policies typically cover the building itself, not your furniture, electronics, or clothing. Renters insurance steps in to address coverage gaps, helping you recover from unexpected losses.

What Does Renters Insurance Cover?

Our team at The Matthews Insurance Group helps renters secure policies that may include:

• Personal property coverage if your belongings are damaged due to a fire, theft, vandalism or certain weather conditions
• Personal liability coverage if you’re held responsible for someone getting injured or causing damage to another party’s property
• Additional living expenses if you’re temporarily displaced from your home due to a covered event

How Much Does Coverage Cost?

Renters insurance rates can vary significantly, and policies can often be customized according to coverage needs and budgetary limitations. For young adults and apartment dwellers in Arlington and across Texas, this may mean you can financially protect your valuables and liability without stretching your budget.

Your rates can be influenced by:

• Location
• Coverage amount
• Deductible
• Claims history
• Building features (e.g., security systems, smoke detectors, etc.)
• Pets

Additionally, discounts may be available, such as by bundling policies (e.g., renters and auto) from the same insurance carrier.
