| In most cases, a landlord's Edgewater 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. |
|
| Edgewater 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. |
|
| When buying Edgewater 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. |
|
| Edgewater apartment insurance will insure all of your property within your apartment. Some policies will also cover your property when it's outside of your apartment. For example, if your bike is stolen when it is parked at your friend's apartment, your renters insurance may reimburse you the cost of your stolen bike. Renters insurance also covers fire or water damage. |
|
| A Edgewater apartment insurance policy extends beyond on-premise theft and hazards. If your suitcase is stolen while you're on vacation, you'll likely be covered. Same with property stolen from your car. If you're prone to barroom brawls—well, you might need more help than renters insurance, but you'll probably be covered if you hurt someone. Speaking of injuries, you'll also likely be protected if someone slips and sprains their ankle at your annual dance-a-thon; you may even receive compensation for legal defense costs in the case of a lawsuit. |
|
| Liability protection is also standard with most Edgewater 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. |
|
| If you rent an apartment or own a condominium, you need Edgewater apartment insurance to protect your belongings. While your landlord or condo association might have insurance, it only protects the building. Your belongings are not covered under those policies. A renters insurance policy will protect your belongings |
