Renters coverage guide

Click each renters coverage to see the risk and the protection.

Use this guide to understand what the policy protects inside the unit, where liability shows up, and how temporary-living support fits after a covered loss.

Renters Insurance Map

Personal Property

Risk Factor

Belongings such as electronics, furniture, clothing, and daily essentials can be damaged or stolen even though the renter does not own the building.

Solution

Personal-property coverage helps replace covered belongings after eligible losses so the renter is not rebuilding the apartment out of pocket.

Personal Liability

Risk Factor

A guest injury, kitchen fire, or accidental damage to another unit can still create legal and medical-cost exposure for a tenant.

Solution

Personal liability coverage helps protect against covered injury and property-damage claims tied to the renter’s everyday use of the space.

Additional Living Expense

Risk Factor

If a covered loss makes the apartment temporarily unlivable, the renter may need to pay for hotels, meals, and other extra living costs right away.

Solution

Loss-of-use coverage can help with eligible temporary living expense while the unit is being repaired after a covered event.

High-Value Items

Risk Factor

Jewelry, collectibles, and specialty electronics may be worth far more than the renter expects once a loss forces a real replacement decision.

Solution

Bell & Lyons reviews valuables separately so the renters policy can be adjusted when standard treatment may not match the real item exposure.
