    All insurance is based upon the concept of shared risk.  You should buy a renter’s policy if you cannot afford the cost of replacing everything that you own.  You should buy a renter’s policy if you cannot afford the cost of a lawsuit from personal injury or property damage.  You should buy a renter’s policy if it is required by your landlord.

    Great question!  You should have a renters insurance policy anytime you are putting your belongings in a place that belongs to someone else, especially if it will be difficult for you to replace those belongings, should they be damaged or destroyed. It is a common mistake to believe that the landlords insurance would cover you if something were to happen. Unfortunately, that is not the case. It is a good idea to get a policy. They are relatively inexpensive, and a lifesaver, if you have to file a claim. If you need help, please feel free to contact me, okay? Thanks for asking!
