| Just like any other type of homeowners insurance policy, your Marion apartment insurance premium depends on a number of factors: where you live, your deductible, your insurance company, and whether you need any additional coverage. Raising your deductible is a good way to reduce the monthly premium on your renters insurance policy |
|
| A Marion 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. |
|
| A complete inventory of your property can be helpful if you ever file a claim with your Marion apartment insurance. Keep a copy of the inventory, along with receipts and photos or a videotape, in a secure place, such as a safe deposit box. These will help prove your losses to the renters insurance company. |
|
| Marion apartment insurance policies are designed to indemnify you in the event of a covered loss to your personal property and protect you in the event you are responsible for bodily injury or property damage to others. Renters insurance is available for apartments or a rented house. |
|
| Liability protection is also standard with most Marion 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. |
|
| As soon as you obtain Marion 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. |
|
| News reports of apartment fires often include tragic stories of renters who lost everything because they were uninsured. If you rent an apartment, duplex, house, or townhouse, your landlord´s Marion apartment insurance policy covers losses to the building, but it does not cover your personal property. To protect your belongings, you need a separate renters insurance policy. Renters insurance covers your personal property and household items in the event of a fire, theft, or other loss. It also offers you financial protection if a visitor is injured in your home. |
