Your personal property

Your personal property: At the basic level, renters insurance should cover your personal items, including clothing, furniture, musical instruments and electronics in the case of theft, fire, vandalism or other unpredictable circumstances. When you buy renters insurance, you should complete a home inventory. To do this, list all of the belongings that need to be covered, along with their monetary value. This list is essential in claiming money back if your property is damaged or stolen.
