Coverage Details

What Renters Insurance Covers

Renters insurance is a surprisingly comprehensive policy for its low cost. Here's what a typical BlueNova renters policy includes:

✓
Personal Property Coverage — Covers your furniture, electronics, clothing, appliances, and personal items from theft, fire, water damage, vandalism, and more.
✓
Personal Liability Coverage — Protects you if someone is injured in your home or if you accidentally damage someone else's property. Covers legal fees and settlements.
✓
Loss of Use (Additional Living Expenses) — If your rental becomes uninhabitable after a covered loss, insurance pays for your temporary hotel, meals, and living costs.
✓
Off-Premises Coverage — Your belongings are protected even outside your apartment — including theft from your car, losses while traveling, and storage unit contents.

Who Needs It

Every Renter Needs This Coverage

If you rent an apartment, condo, townhouse, or house, renters insurance is one of the smartest financial moves you can make. The average renter has $20,000–$30,000 worth of personal belongings — replacing all of that out-of-pocket after a fire or burglary would be devastating. For the cost of a couple of coffees per month, renters insurance gives you peace of mind and serious financial protection. Many landlords now require it. Even if yours doesn't, you absolutely should have it.

FAQs

Renters Insurance FAQs

No. Your landlord's insurance covers the building structure, but it does not cover any of your personal belongings or your personal liability. If a fire destroys your apartment and all your possessions, your landlord's insurance pays to rebuild the building — your losses are entirely your own responsibility without renters insurance.

Start by inventorying your belongings and estimating their replacement cost. Most renters need $20,000–$50,000 in personal property coverage. We recommend $100,000 in personal liability coverage at minimum. Creating a home inventory (photos or video of all your possessions) makes the claims process significantly easier.

Yes — electronics including laptops, tablets, smartphones, and gaming consoles are covered under personal property protection. High-value electronics may be subject to sub-limits; if you have a very expensive setup, a scheduled personal property rider can ensure full replacement cost coverage for specific high-value items.

Generally, a renters insurance policy only covers the named insured and their immediate family members. Roommates must have their own separate policies unless explicitly added to your policy (which some carriers allow). Having separate policies is usually recommended to avoid complications with claims involving shared items.
