At P. J. Hussey, we want all our tenants to feel secure and protected in their homes. One way to achieve that peace of mind is through renter’s insurance. It’s an affordable and effective way to safeguard your personal belongings and ensure you’re covered in case of unexpected events. Plus, renter’s insurance is a requirement for all our tenants. Here’s why having this coverage is so important and how to choose the right policy for your needs.

What Does Renter’s Insurance Cover?

• Personal Property Coverage: Protects your belongings, such as furniture, electronics, clothing and more against damage or loss due to events like fire, theft, or vandalism.
• Liability Protection: Covers legal expenses if someone is injured in your home or if you accidentally cause damage to someone else’s property.
• Additional Living Expenses: Provides coverage for temporary living expenses if your rental home becomes uninhabitable due to a covered event, like a fire or severe storm.
• Medical Payments to Others: Covers medical expenses for guests injured in your home, regardless of who is at fault.

Benefits of Having Renter’s Insurance

• Affordable Peace of Mind: Renter’s insurance typically costs less than you might think—often just a few dollars a month. It provides significant protection and peace of mind for a small investment.
• Protection Against the Unexpected: Disasters can strike at any time. Whether it’s a fire, flood, or burglary, renter’s insurance can help you recover your losses and get back on your feet quickly.
• Compliance with Lease Requirements: Renter’s insurance is required for all P. J. Hussey tenants. It ensures that both you and the property are protected, fulfilling your lease agreement obligations.

Tips for Choosing the Right Renter’s Insurance Policy

• Assess Your Coverage Needs: Take inventory of your belongings and estimate their value. This will help you determine the amount of personal property coverage you need.
• Compare Policy Options: Look at different insurance companies and policies to find one that offers the best balance of coverage, cost, and customer service.
• Consider Additional Coverage: If you have high-value items like jewelry, artwork, or electronics, you may need additional coverage beyond the standard policy limits.
• Understand the Deductible: Choose a deductible that fits your budget. A higher deductible typically means lower monthly premiums, but you’ll pay more out-of-pocket if you need to file a claim.
