      I know this is a super old comment but just an fyi: you don't need a receipt or proof. Unless you have something the average person doesn't have. Insurance companies assume renters have typical furniture clothes, etc

    Renters insurance is a requirement for where I'm currently living. I'm confused as to how it is used. For example, when you are faced with different issues in your place, do you file a claim? For example, if your place becomes unlivable will they help you find another place or do you have to wait until it is fixed? Will they help you find people to help you move if you are unable to locate this resource? I'm confused.

      Those are honestly very good questions. I wonder wonder if my friend had made sure she had coverage for sewage or pipe flooding damage, if she would have been covered when her landlord basically did nothing. As well as the eventual mold issue that arose from the landlord not addressing it quickly at all.

    I have had some small items that I would have felt stupid filing a claim. I had this inexpensive point and shoot digital camera stolen, some camera filters, some shoes, some photographs. I have had a storage space where items were missing but I think it is frivolous to file a claim for the items. I'm not sure if I'm making the right decision but photographs can't be replaced because the digital camera that had the card in it, that went with the camera. I miss my shoes. I tried going back to the store where I purchased them. I wore one pair all the time. I mean who in the world would be interested in my size 12 shoes? I'm tall with big feet.

    What if you found out after moving in to a rental property that it rains in it, sockets not working, back steps broken. Does rentals insurance cover this. Landlord not fixing it and I sign lease for a year. Was told steps would be repaired, just found out about other things once I moved in.

    • @jessenceq3250
      @jessenceq3250 5 місяців тому

      Always do a thorough inspection before signing a lease. Hire a professional if you're confused or do some online research on how to. It's always easier to require proper repairs before signing, That is when renters have the most leverage. Unfortunately, landlords and renters can be a bit of an unequal relationship. Landlords often have a lot of lip service (aka negligence).

      I no longer have renters insurance, as I’m a homeowner now, but I would look at any existing policies or affiliations you have. For example, most car insurers also offer renters. Or if you have AAA, you can ask them. Otherwise, you can google some good carriers for your area. -Akeiva

    Water is leaking into my apartment through the sliding glass door. Maintenance came and turned a dehumidifier on but it keeps leaking. The carpet smells of mildew and I'm worried it might spread to my rug and couch. I have renters insurance but is there any recourse I can take with the apartment complex to ask them to fix the source of the issue or let me move into a different apartment? Sorry I know it's off topic but I don't know who to ask!!
