If you are a tenant who rents out an apartment, house or building for living space it is a great idea to get renter's insurance. Without renter's insurance you could lose all of your personal property and valuables if a fire or burglary ever occured. The homeowner's insurance would cover the dwelling but not your personal belongings.

When you're renting, you'll want to buy renters' insurance to cover your stuff. Here's a place that sells policies: http://www.statefarm.com/insurance/renters/renters.asp

Guard Against Tenants And Their Guests With Rental Property Insurance?

Rental properties can be a great investment, but like any investment, there's a possibility for loss. While you can do background checks and require security deposits from your tenants, the safety and security of your rental property is often out of your control. Make sure your policy covers you from damage caused not only by your tenants, but also their guests. Also look at your deductible. If it's higher than your reserved security deposit, are you able to potentially lose that amount if your property is damaged?

Does Your Policy Include Car Rental Insurance?

Not every insurance policy extends its coverage to car rentals. This is especially true if the rental is out of state or out of the country. Always read the fine print on your insurance policy to determine if car rental insurance is included. If it isn't, you may need a rider to get it included. If this changes your costs significantly, you can investigate the cost at individual rental companies. Or, wait to buy extended coverage until you must rent a car.
