Renters Insurance
Your landlord’s insurance protects the building. Renters insurance helps protect what’s yours.
Renting may mean you don’t own the walls around you, but you still have plenty worth protecting.
Based in Albuquerque, Western Assurance Associates serves clients throughout New Mexico, Texas, Colorado, and Arizona. Our team can help you understand what your landlord’s insurance does—and doesn’t—cover, and explore coverage for your belongings, personal liability, and the unexpected situations that can come with renting.
What does renters insurance help protect?
Renters insurance is designed to help protect you and your belongings—not the building itself. Your exact coverage will depend on the policy, limits, deductibles, and options you choose.
-
Helps cover furniture, clothing, electronics, and other personal property after a covered loss.
-
Helps protect you if you’re legally responsible for certain injuries to another person or damage to someone else’s property.
-
Depending on the policy, coverage may also extend to certain belongings while they’re away from your residence.
-
Helps with certain extra living costs if a covered loss temporarily makes your rental uninhabitable.
Doesn’t my landlord’s insurance cover me?
Your landlord’s insurance generally protects the building—not your personal belongings or individual liability.
If your furniture, electronics, clothing, or other belongings are damaged in a covered loss, your landlord’s policy generally won’t replace them for you.
That’s where renters insurance comes in.
Replacement cost or actual cash value?
How your belongings are valued after a loss can make a meaningful difference.
Replacement cost generally helps replace covered belongings with similar new items, while actual cash value takes depreciation into account.
We’ll help you understand how your policy handles your belongings before you choose coverage.
Do you have enough coverage for what you own?
It’s easy to underestimate how much it would cost to replace everything in your home at once.
Furniture, clothes, electronics, kitchen items, tools, and other belongings can add up quickly. Higher-value items may also need additional coverage.
We’ll help you think through what you own and the protection that makes sense.
