Coverage	Real-life scenario	Standard	Optional
Personal Property Coverage	If your personal possessions—including furniture, clothing, and appliances—are damaged or stolen as a result of a covered loss, Safeco will arrange for them to be repaired or replaced.
Liability Coverage	Safeco will defend you if someone makes a claim against you for accidentally causing an injury or damaging property — for example, if someone is hurt in your yard or you damage property at someone else’s home.
Additional Living Expenses	Your home will be protected against losses from events such as fire or lightning; weight of ice, snow, or sleet; windstorms; hail; theft or vandalism; and more.
Valuable Articles Coverage	Extra coverage for high-value items such as jewelry, art, collectibles, or camera equipment.
Personal Property Replacement Cost Coverage	For just $2 a month, equipment breakdown coverage is a cost-effective way to keep critical household equipment up and running after mechanical or electrical breakdowns—which are often not covered under a standard homeowners policy.1

Looking for answers? Browse the most frequently asked questions below, or contact an agent to discuss renters insurance today.

Does renters insurance pay your rent if you’re unable to?

Renters insurance does not pay your rent. However, it may cover expenses related to temporary housing if you can’t live in your building while it’s being rebuilt or repaired after being damaged.

Is renters insurance expensive?

It usually costs a few dollars a month. It could cost a lot more to replace all of your stuff without the protection of a renters insurance policy.

Is your landlord responsible for insuring the apartment?

Your landlord is responsible for insuring the building, but not your personal belongings inside it.

What if your luggage gets stolen while you’re on vacation?

Your things are protected when they’re at home or with you anywhere in the world.
