What Insurance Does Not Cover

While insurance for your rental covers your things in many situations, there are a few instances where your belongings will not be covered. Insurance does not cover floods, earthquakes or routine wear and tear. You can, however, contact us to buy separate policies for flood and earthquake damage.

If you are forced out of your home because of a disaster, insurance will cover your additional living expenses.

Insurance pays the reasonable additional costs of temporarily living away from your home if you can't live in it due to a fire, severe storm or other insured disaster. It covers hotel bills, temporary rentals, restaurant meals and other living expenses incurred while your home is being rebuilt. Coverage for additional living expenses differs from company to company.
Insurance also covers your responsibility to other people injured at your home or elsewhere by you, a family member or your pet and pays legal defense costs if you are taken to court.

Decide How Much Insurance You Need.

Add up the cost of everything you would want to replace if it were damaged or stolen. This could also serve as the basis for an inventory that will make filing a claim easier. For an inventory, also record model numbers, dates and places of purchase. Take photographs or make a video of these items and place a copy of the inventory in safe place away form your home.As a full-service independent insurance agency, we treat all of our clients with the utmost care and respect when helping them find their ideal insurance.
