While not required by law, you might find that your landlord or management company requires renters insurance before you can sign a lease.

Whether it's required or not, renters insurance is a valuable protection for anyone living in a rental property.

When it comes to rental property, it is the responsibility of the landlord to insure the exterior of the structure. However, it is up to the individual renting the property to insure their personal belongings. Renters insurance can help protect an individual's belongings as well as provide most of the benefits of homeowners insurance in the event of a fire, flood, theft, or other disaster. If you think renters insurance might be right for you, schedule a meeting with a Pro Insurance agent for more information.
