Whether you're renting a studio apartment or an entire single-family home, renters insurance covers what your landlord's policy does not. If a fire destroys your rented home, renters insurance could cover your personal belongings and valuables. If someone sues you for injuries on your property, renters insurance will ensure you're covered.
