| When you look at the trade-off, paying a small premium for coverage against the cost of replacing what has taken you years to accumulate, Ravenswood Manor apartment insurance makes perfect sense. Renters insurance covers your belongings. |
|
| News reports of apartment fires often include tragic stories of renters who lost everything because they were uninsured. If you rent an apartment, duplex, house, or townhouse, your landlord´s Ravenswood Manor apartment insurance policy covers losses to the building, but it does not cover your personal property. To protect your belongings, you need a separate renters insurance policy. Renters insurance covers your personal property and household items in the event of a fire, theft, or other loss. It also offers you financial protection if a visitor is injured in your home. |
|
| A complete inventory of your property can be helpful if you ever file a claim with your Ravenswood Manor apartment insurance. Keep a copy of the inventory, along with receipts and photos or a videotape, in a secure place, such as a safe deposit box. These will help prove your losses to the renters insurance company. |
|
| A Ravenswood Manor 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. |
|
| As soon as you obtain Ravenswood Manor apartment insurance, document your belongings. Make a videotape of everything you own or photos of everything you would want replaced. If you can't do that, write a detailed list of your things. If you lose your belongings in a fire it will be nearly impossible to remember everything you had. A record of your things will be invaluable in settling claims with the renters insurance company. |
|
| Your Ravenswood Manor 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. |
|
| Ravenswood Manor apartment insurance policies have limits on reimbursement for expensive items. If you have computer or stereo equipment or costly jewelry, you may want to insure those separately. If you have items of great sentimental value, they obviously can't be replaced and you should put them in a safe deposit box. Make sure you discuss your expensive items with your agent when purchasing renters insurance |
