| In considering the type of Jefferson County apartment insurance to purchase, consider a replacement-cost policy. With a replacement-cost policy your renters insurance policy would foot the bill for you to buy new items that were lost or damaged. A replacement-cost policy will increase your premium slightly, but it can be well worth it. |
|
| Do not shop for Jefferson County apartment insurance by price alone. You want a company that answers your questions and handles claims fairly and efficiently. Ask friends and relatives for their recommendations for a solid company offering renters insurance. Contact your state insurance department to find out whether they make available consumer complaint ratios by company. |
|
| Liability protection is also standard with most Jefferson County apartment insurance policies. This means if someone in your unit slips and falls, you're covered for any costs, up to your liability limit. If this person sues you, you're covered for what they win in a court judgment as well as your legal expenses, up to your renters insurance policy's limit. |
|
| Everybody who rents, who wants to be compensated for the loss of property and who needs liability protection should have a separate Jefferson County apartment insurance policy from the landlord's that covers the building and not the tenant's belongings. A renters insurance policy protects your belongings. |
|
| A Jefferson County apartment insurance policy usually includes liability coverage for unintentional damage or injury, compensation for personal property that is stolen or damaged and payment for additional living expenses if you have to move out or temporarily relocate because of damage done to your residence. |
|
| When buying Jefferson County apartment insurance, let your agent know about any particularly valuable items you have. Jewelry, antiques, and electronics might be covered up to a certain amount. If you have some items that are unusually expensive, such as a diamond ring, you'll probably want to purchase a separate rider. If you don't talk to your agent about an expensive item when you buy the renters insurance policy, you probably won't be able to recover the loss. |
