| All too often, renters don't understand that they're responsible if an accident, injury or damages occur. Many renters don't know that renter's insurance exist. Others simply just never get around to buying Jackpot apartment insurance or opt to take their chances that mishaps will swerve around them. |

| With Jackpot apartment insurance, you can replace what's damaged or stolen. Renters insurance covers your possessions against losses from fire or smoke, lightning, vandalism, theft, explosion, windstorm, and water damage from plumbing. Renters insurance also covers your responsibility to other people injured at your home or elsewhere by you, a family member or your pet, and pays legal defense costs if you are taken to court. |

| Your landlord's Jackpot apartment insurance doesn't cover your personal property. Things like your clothes, stereo, furniture, television, bicycle, jewelry, personal computer, artwork and other items are not covered against destruction or loss by your landlord's insurance. It is important to purchase a renters insurance policy when renting. |

| Consider choosing a Jackpot apartment insurance policy that pays the replacement cost as opposed to one that pays the actual cash value of the insured items. A replacement cost renters insurance policy usually costs about 10 percent more. But there are ways to save on insurance. Companies offer a discount to customers who purchase automobile and renter's insurance. A 5 percent discount on car insurance could pay for the renter's policy. Also a higher deductible will lower the premium cost for renter's insurance. |

| Why don't more renters carry Jackpot apartment insurance against possible financial losses? Apartment owners and managers and insurance industry executives said most renters believe -- erroneously so -- that they don't need renter's insurance because the property owner is required to take care of any losses they may suffer. |
