Frequently asked questions

What is Renter's Insurance?

Renter’s insurance is a policy that covers your personal belongings and provides liability protection while you’re living in a rental property. Unlike homeowner’s insurance, which covers the structure itself, renter’s insurance is designed specifically for residents like you.

Why Do You Need Renter's Insurance?

  • Protection for Your Belongings: In the event of theft, fire, water damage, or natural disasters, renter’s insurance helps replace or repair your personal items.
  • Liability Coverage: If someone is injured in your home or if you accidentally damage someone else’s property, your policy can help cover legal and medical expenses.
  • Compliance with Lease Requirements: To ensure comprehensive protection, we require all residents to maintain:
    • A minimum $100,000 liability policy naming Orange Realty Group as an “additional interested party.”
    • For homes with private pools, a liability policy of no less than $300,000 is mandatory.
  • Affordable Peace of Mind: Renter’s insurance is typically very affordable. It’s a small investment for significant protection.

What Does Renter's Insurance Cover?

While coverage varies by policy, most renter’s insurance plans include:

  • Personal Property Coverage: Protects your belongings from unexpected events.
  • Liability Protection: Covers legal or medical expenses if you’re found responsible for injuries or damage.
  • Additional Living Expenses: Assists with costs if your home becomes temporarily uninhabitable.
