| A Central Missouri 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. |

| A Central Missouri 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. |

| Everybody who rents, who wants to be compensated for the loss of property and who needs liability protection should have a separate Central Missouri apartment insurance policy from the landlord's that covers the building and not the tenant's belongings. A renters insurance policy protects your belongings. |
