So, you finally got the keys and signed lease in hand and are ready to move into your new apartment. Moving boxes, getting the internet set up and meeting the neighbors are at the top of your list. But wait, aren't you forgetting something? Your lease mentions renter’s insurance, but why would you need coverage when your landlord owns the property? Isn’t there already insurance on the building? Sadly, many people make this mistake each year when it comes to their own coverage, thinking that their landlord’s insurance policy will cover their belongings too. This is not the case! Purchasing your own renter’s insurance policy will protect your personal items from a variety of potential scenarios and is often required when signing a lease.

Imagine, after a long day of work and all you want to do is go home, kick off your shoes, tune into your favorite show, and order some take-out. You get to your door and can almost taste the pizza when you notice that it’s already open. There’s some broken glass around one of your windows. Panic begins to rise in your chest; someone must have broken in! You quickly check out your place and notice your television, computer, and some jewelry is missing. Now what?

The building is evacuated and your apartment is a total loss. Now what?
