| In most cases, a landlord's South Missouri 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. |

| Most South Missouri aparment insurance policies provide "named peril" coverage, meaning the policy states specifically what you are insured against. Some named perils include Fire or Lightning, Smoke, Vandalism or Malicious Mischief, Theft, Accidental Discharge of Water and 10 others. Liability coverage also includes Medical Payments coverage, which applies to nonresidents of the insured premises. It is important to know what your renters insurance policy does and does not cover |

| Liability protection is also standard with most South Missouri 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. |

| 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, South Missouri apartment insurance makes perfect sense. Renters insurance covers your belongings. |
