As a renter in the Tri-State area, you are not alone. 38% of all housing units are rentals, which is a lot less than New York City, where 68% are rentals. You may wonder if you should have rental insurance and whether or not your landlord has insurance which will protect you. If you have lots of stuff, and most people do, you should probably consider getting renters insurance since your personal property is not covered under any insurance your landlord might have. At ASZ International, Inc., a team of local agents in Westchester, NY are waiting to make your insurance experience more efficient and enjoyable.
Personal property
Like home insurance, renters insurance covers your personal property. If you have expensive electronics or jewelry, be sure to make sure that the limits on your policy reflect your needs. Your personal property is covered even if it is with you away from home in your car or suitcase. Things happen, and you want to make sure that what you own is protected.
Liability
You never want to imagine that someone might sue you for an injury they receive at your rental, but bad things do happen. Legal representation and judgments can be costly, and knowing that you have protection brings peace of mind.
Loss of Use
If something happens to your rental that makes it uninhabitable, you will need to have another place to stay. Your renter’s insurance will help with this additional expense as long as the reasons it is uninhabitable is covered by your renter’s insurance.
When you are ready to discuss your renter’s insurance needs, the experienced team at ASZ International, Inc. in Westchester, NY will be there to answer any question you have and offer you a great selection of products to choose from. Stop by our office or give us a call for a no-obligation quote.
