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. |

| Alliance apartment insurance will protect your property from theft, fire, and other perils. One common myth is that your landlord's insurance protects you. This is false. Your landlord's insurance only covers the dwelling and does not cover your personal property. Another myth is that you don't own that much stuff and that it isn't worth buying insurance. This is also false. Once you make a list of all your belongings and estimate their value, you realize that own thousands of dollars worth of property. The average person has over $20,000 worth of stuff. Surprised? A renters insurance policy will cover your belongings. |

| With Alliance 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. |
|
| As soon as you obtain Alliance 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. |
