Apartment Insurance Questions
Get answers to common questions about apartment renters insurance
Do I need apartment insurance if my landlord has insurance?
Yes, you need your own apartment insurance. Your landlord's insurance only covers the building structure, not your personal belongings or liability. Apartment renters insurance protects your possessions, covers liability claims, and provides additional living expenses if your apartment becomes uninhabitable.
What does apartment insurance cover?
Apartment insurance covers your personal property against theft, fire, water damage, and other perils. It includes liability protection if someone is injured in your apartment or you damage others' property. Additional living expenses are covered if you must temporarily relocate, and medical payments coverage helps with guest injuries.
How much apartment insurance do I need?
Most apartment renters need $20,000-40,000 in personal property coverage based on their belongings' value. We recommend at least $300,000 in liability coverage and sufficient additional living expenses to cover 6-12 months of temporary housing. Coverage needs vary by apartment size and personal assets.
Is apartment insurance required in New Jersey?
While New Jersey law doesn't require apartment insurance, many landlords mandate it in lease agreements. Even when not required, apartment insurance is highly recommended as it provides essential financial protection for just $15-30 per month on average.
How much does apartment insurance cost in NJ?
Apartment insurance in New Jersey typically costs $15-30 per month for standard coverage. Studio apartments may pay as little as $10-15 monthly, while larger apartments with more coverage needs might pay $25-40. Your exact cost depends on location, coverage limits, and deductible choices.
Does apartment insurance cover roommates?
Standard apartment insurance typically only covers the policyholder and relatives living with them. Roommates usually need separate policies for full protection. Some insurers offer options to add roommates, but individual policies often provide better coverage and clearer claim processes.
What's typically not covered by apartment insurance?
Apartment insurance doesn't cover flood damage (requires separate flood insurance), earthquake damage, normal wear and tear, pest infestations, or your roommates' belongings. Business property may need additional coverage, and high-value items often have coverage limits requiring extra protection.
Can I get apartment insurance with bad credit or prior claims?
Yes, you can get apartment insurance regardless of credit or claims history. While these factors may affect your rate, we work with multiple carriers to find affordable options for everyone. Some companies specialize in coverage for those with challenging histories.
