    What is Renters Insurance?

    Tenants don’t own the buildings they live in, but they’re still exposed to a variety of potential risks. Possessions can be damaged or stolen, and tenants themselves can be named in liability lawsuits. Tenant or Renter’s insurance policies also provide tenants coverage not afforded to them by the landlord’s policy.

    Renters insurance provides a range of important protections, yet many tenants don’t safeguard themselves with a policy. According to the Insurance Information Institute, just 37 percent of tenants have a renter’s policy. The other 63 percent are left exposed to losses generally covered by personal policy protections.

    • When I called the staff at Paul T. Murphy Insurance, they explained how auto reform would allow me to increase coverage and save money at the same time. I moved my home and umbrella insurance to my current auto carrier and saved over $350. In July 2008 when my auto insurance renews with Safety Insurance, I will save another $300 just for having my auto and home insurance with the same company. The staff at Paul T Murphy Insurance Agency really understands the new Massachusetts reform and how to pass savings and additional coverage to their clients.

    Renters policies don’t provide coverage for physical buildings or structures. Since landlords own the buildings that tenants live in, Renter’s policy are not required to cover the dwelling itself.
