| In order to protect your belongings, you should buy Mascot apartment insurance policy. Most renters insurance policies will cover all of your personal property. And protection is worldwide. If your clothes are stolen while you are on a vacation in the Bahamas, you are covered. Nice, isn't it? As you can see, renters insurance is one type of insurance you should not be without. |
|
| Most of you probably haven't even thought about getting Mascot apartment insurance to cover your personal property such as your clothes, furniture, tv, etc. You can protect your belongings by purchasing renters insurance, which is similar to homeowners insurance for those who rent. |
|
| In most cases, a landlord's Mascot 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. |
|
| Why don't more renters carry Mascot 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. |
|
| In considering the type of Mascot apartment insurance to purchase, consider a replacement-cost policy. With a replacement-cost policy your renters insurance policy would foot the bill for you to buy new items that were lost or damaged. A replacement-cost policy will increase your premium slightly, but it can be well worth it. |
|
| Consider choosing a Mascot 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. |
|
| Your Mascot apartment insurance should also cover personal liability. Most renters insurance policies will cover all non-auto accidents, including accidents that happen away from your apartment. Let's say that before your bike was stolen, you accidentally hit a pedestrian with it and he or she sued you. You are protected against lawsuits because you have renters insurance. Although coverages vary, $300,000 is standard coverage for personal liability. |
