| Palmetto apartment insurance will protect your property from theft, fire, and other perils. One common myth is that your landlord's insurance protects you. This is false.

This is also false. Once you make a list of all your belongings and estimate their value, you realize that own thousands of dollars worth of property. The average person has over $20,000 worth of stuff. Surprised? A renters insurance policy will cover your belongings. |

| Your Palmetto 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.

Although coverages vary, $300,000 is standard coverage for personal liability. |

| A Palmetto apartment insurance policy covers added living expenses such as motel costs if you´re temporarily displaced from your home or apartment. This "loss of use" coverage is limited to 20 percent of the personal property coverage under your renters insurance policy. For example, if you have $25,000 of personal property coverage, your loss of use coverage would be $5,000. You will be paid up to this limit for the reasonable time required to repair or replace your rented property. |
