Is renters insurance even a necessity anymore? There are all kinds of possibilities in the world and choosing not to carry renters insurance is kind of like gambling with your financial future. After all, if you are not covered the chances of recouping any of your losses are very slim.

Your landlord carries insurance on the building you live in. Whether you are in a single family home, a duplex, or a high rise apartment building your landlord makes sure that the building is covered in the event that there is a weather anomaly or a fire. Any kind of destruction that the property suffers is covered under your landlord’s insurance.

Weather, earthquakes, fires, and human disasters can be a huge part of just living in the world today. We take a risk just by existing, and sometimes that risk catches up to us and we suddenly find ourselves the victims of weather, theft, or the neighbor that had a gas leak.

Many people mistakenly believe that they will be able to file a claim under their landlord’s insurance if there is a fire from faulty wiring, damage from a natural event, or even damage caused by an outraged citizen. They believe this because it’s no necessarily untrue, but it is also not necessarily true, either.

Confused? There are certain loopholes that would allow you to claim damages under your landlord’s policy. For instance, if your landlord torched his or her own building and this was proven in a court of law you would have a legitimate claim. The years that it will take to build a case, take it to trial, receive a finding, and file a civil suit would be long and arduous. You are better off filing a claim with renters insurance and then filing a civil suit if it turns out the landlord is directly responsible for any losses.

If you work, even part time, out of your home it is even more imperative that you carry renters insurance. Not doing so could easily mean that you will lose more than just possessions if something happens.

If you create any type of income from your home, it is absolutely imperative that you carry an adequate insurance policy. You would need the immediate replacement of the equipment and space you need in order to earn that income. The risks of refusing to carry a policy are great and unnecessary, especially considering that many policies run less than $30 per month.
