| In most cases, a landlord's Sunrise 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. |

| You might think you don't need Sunrise apartment insurance if you rent, but think again! Add up the cost of your furniture, your electronic equipment, your CD collection, computer, garments and other personal property. Can you afford to replace everything in the event of a fire or burglary? Getting renters insurance gives you to protection you need |
|
| Sunrise apartment insurance policies have additional benefits. For example, a waterbed liability provision is standard in most renters and condo owners policies. If your waterbed bursts and the water ends up in the apartment below yours, your renters insurance would cover the damage. |
|
| Buying Sunrise apartment insurance protects you financially and provides peace of mind. When getting renters insurance, it's important to pick a company that is financially stable. Check the financial health of insurance companies with rating companies and consult consumer magazines. |
|
| Your Sunrise apartment insurance should also cover personal liability. Most renters insurance policies will cover all non-auto accidents, including accidents that happen away from your apartment. Let's say that before your bike was stolen, you accidentally hit a pedestrian with it and he or she sued you. You are protected against lawsuits because you have renters insurance. Although coverages vary, $300,000 is standard coverage for personal liability. |
|
| Most of you probably haven't even thought about getting Sunrise apartment insurance to cover your personal property such as your clothes, furniture, tv, etc. You can protect your belongings by purchasing renters insurance, which is similar to homeowners insurance for those who rent. |
|
| Sunrise apartment insurance isn't expensive. A renters insurance policy with a $250 deductible typically costs about $250 a year for $30,000 worth of contents coverage and $300,000 in personal-liability coverage -- which protects you in case you're sued for an injury that occurs in your home. |
