    Renters insurance will cover you for theft on and off your premises minus your deductible. For example if you are traveling and your luggage was stolen this would be a covered peril. I recommend you discuss with your local agent as renters polices may and often do have limitations for certain items such as jewelery.

    Renters (Tenant/Homeowners’) Insurance policies will usually cover your personal property “anywhere in the world”. Of course, most tenant/ homeowner policies also provide coverage on a named peril basis and “theft” is usually a specifically defined covered peril.

    So, in a general sense, renters’ policies should cover theft of your covered personal property while it is away from your home subject to the policy’s exclusions and limitations.

    Common limitations include: no coverage for theft from a dwelling under construction (often can be added), theft from another residence you own or rent unless you are temporarily residing there, theft from the part of a residence you rent to someone, theft of boats, their equipment, trailers or campers, etc.
