Rental Insurance - How Much Do I Need?

The amount of personal property coverage you need depends on how much your property is worth.

You may think your things aren't worth much, but the average person has over $20,000 worth of stuff. Stuff that’s probably not covered by a landlord's policy.

Take inventory
A great way to determine how much coverage you need is to take a complete inventory of your possessions:

1. List each item, when you acquired it and the purchase price or current value.
2. Total up the amounts of these items to give you a rough idea of what your property is worth.
3. Once this is done, put your inventory in a safe place away from home -- for example, in a bank safe deposit box.
4. Consider adding photos to your inventory -- they can help if you have a claim.
