Insurance Cover?Just like Homeowners insurance, Renters insurance
is there to cover your:
- Personal Possessions
- Personal Liability
- Medical Payments
- Additional Living Expenses
Farmers Renters Insurance
Right off the bat, Farmers Renters insurance goes to work protecting your:
-
Personal Possessions
- You choose the amount of coverage based on the value of what you own, including furniture, clothing, electronics, appliances, etc.
- Your possessions are covered anywhere in the world.
- Coverage is on a named-peril (e.g. fire, theft, etc.) basis, which means that you’re covered for losses resulting from only the causes listed in your policy.
-
Personal Liability
- Renters insurance provides you, and your family living with you, Liability coverage when you’re legally responsible for someone’s bodily injury or property damage resulting from an accident, negligent acts by you or household members (on or off premises), and the acts of pets.
- For example, you’ll be covered if you leave a pair of shoes in the stairwell that trips a guest on his or her way down the stairs.
- Coverage includes costs to resolve claims or defend lawsuits brought against you.
-
Medical Payments
Pays necessary medical costs for people (other than residents of your household) accidentally injured at your residence or elsewhere due to your activities or due to your pet, regardless of liability, up to the coverage limit stated in your policy.
-
Additional Living Expenses
If the home you rent is damaged and becomes uninhabitable, you may need to temporarily live somewhere else while your residence is being repaired. Your Renters policy will pay for the reasonable and necessary increase in living expenses (housing, food, etc.) you incur to maintain your normal standard of living while your residence is being repaired, or until you permanently relocate after a covered loss, subject to 12 or 24 months, depending on your policy type.
Optional Coverages
For more personalized protection, Farmers offers a variety of additional articles and optional coverage options that you can add to customize your Renters policy, like:
- Replacement Cost
-
Replacement Cost coverage pays the cost of repairing or replacing damaged or stolen items without deducting for depreciation. For instance, if a camera you bought three years ago is stolen, this coverage would provide you the current market value to replace the item, rather than paying you the actual cash value of the camera after three years of use (usually less than market value due to depreciation).
- Identity Shield
-
There are as many as nine million identity theft cases in the U.S. every year. Farmers Identity Shield helps you to resolve identity fraud, provides compensation for time and loss up to the stated limits, performs credit monitoring, provides assistance with notifying credit bureaus of the fraud, and assists in replacing important documents. Identity Shield also provides access to an advocate who will guide you through the identity recovery process.
Get the coverage you want, without paying more than you have to. For affordable coverage that you can tailor to meet your unique situation, Farmers Renters insurance is a smart choice.
