| In most cases, a landlord's Kent County Area 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. |

| Kent County Area 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. |

The average person has over $20,000 worth of stuff. Surprised? A renters insurance policy will cover your belongings. |

| Kent County Area 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.

Make sure you discuss your expensive items with your agent when purchasing renters insurance |

| Although landlords have to have Kent County Area apartment insurance they do not cover you except in certain instances. For the most part they cover the landlords loss, such as if the building burns down, but doesn’t include the contents within. That is up to you.
