Why renters insurance matters.

Most renters think they do not need insurance. Most are wrong — and find out the hard way after a break-in, fire, or accident.

01

Your landlord does not cover you
Your landlord’s policy covers the building. Your furniture, clothing, electronics, and valuables are not covered at all.
02

It costs less than you think
Most renters pay between $12 and $30 per month. That is less than a single Uber ride to replace thousands in belongings.
03

Liability protection is essential
If a guest is injured in your apartment, you could be held liable. Renters insurance covers your legal costs and damages.
04

Required by more landlords
More California landlords are now requiring renters insurance as a condition of your lease. We get you covered fast.

What renters insurance covers.

More than just your stuff — a renters policy protects you in ways most people never think about until it is too late.

Personal Property

Covers your furniture, clothing, electronics, appliances, and other belongings if they are stolen or damaged by fire, smoke, water, or vandalism.

Included

Liability Coverage

If someone is injured in your home or you accidentally damage someone else’s property, renters insurance covers your legal fees and damages.

Included

Additional Living Expenses

If your apartment becomes uninhabitable after a covered event like a fire, your policy pays for your hotel and meals while repairs are made.

Included

Theft — Inside and Outside the Home

Your belongings are covered even if they are stolen from your car, a hotel room, or while you are traveling.

Included

High-Value Items

Jewelry, cameras, musical instruments, and other high-value items can be added as a scheduled endorsement for full replacement value.

Common renters insurance myths.

Most renters skip coverage because of misconceptions. Here is the truth.

Myth

“My landlord’s insurance covers my stuff.”

Your landlord’s policy covers the building only. Your personal belongings have zero coverage unless you have your own renters policy.

Myth

“I don’t own enough to need insurance.”

Add up your furniture, clothing, electronics, and kitchen items. Most renters have $15,000 to $30,000 in belongings without realizing it.

Myth

“Renters insurance is expensive.”

Most California renters pay $12 to $30 per month — less than most streaming subscriptions — for full personal property and liability coverage.

Myth

“I only need it if my landlord requires it.”

Even if your landlord does not require it, you are personally liable for injuries that occur in your apartment and for any damage you cause to the building.

Common questions.

How much does renters insurance cost in California?

Most renters in California pay between $12 and $30 per month depending on the value of their belongings, their ZIP code, and the coverage limits they choose. We compare 40+ carriers to find your lowest rate.

Does renters insurance cover theft from my car?

Yes. If your personal belongings are stolen from your car, they are covered under your renters insurance policy — not your auto insurance. This includes laptops, bags, and other personal items.

Does renters insurance cover my roommate?

Not automatically. In most cases, a renters policy only covers the named insured. Your roommate would need to be added to the policy or get their own coverage. We can advise you on the best approach.

How quickly can I get a renters policy?

Same day. You can be covered within minutes of choosing your plan. If your landlord needs proof of insurance, we email the certificate directly to them the same day.

Can I bundle renters and auto insurance?

Yes and we recommend it. Bundling renters and auto insurance with the same carrier typically saves 10 to 15 percent on both policies. Ask us about bundle options when you get your quote.
