| Most Prince Georges County aparment insurance policies provide "named peril" coverage, meaning the policy states specifically what you are insured against. Some named perils include Fire or Lightning, Smoke, Vandalism or Malicious Mischief, Theft, Accidental Discharge of Water and 10 others.

| In most cases, a landlord's Prince Georges County apartment insurance covers only structural damage to the building itself—and many landlord policies don't even go that far if the damage is caused by a tenant. If you leave the tub running and it turns your floor into cardboard and dribbles downstairs, damaging your neighbor's couch, you may be liable for the whole drippy mess. If your building went up in flames, your landlord's coverage would include repairs, but only to the building, not to the possessions of tenants. Renters insurance will cover your possessions in case of a loss. |

| Everybody who rents, who wants to be compensated for the loss of property and who needs liability protection should have a separate Prince Georges 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. |
