Can you afford not to have it?

No matter how modest your lifestyle, replacing all your belongings can add up.

Replacing the basics could look something like this:
clothing $2000, furniture $5000, jewelry $2000, art $1000, electronics $3000, bedding $1500, appliances $5000, home goods $500, for a total of $20,000

This is a hypothetical illustration. Actual coverage amounts and limits vary based on individual needs and policy.

Renters insurance coverage can help you replace these items and more.
