When renting a home or apartment, securing *renter's insurance is one of the most important steps you can take to protect yourself and your belongings. In fact, at Hignell Rentals we require renter’s insurance to protect our residents at all of our multi-family properties. Unfortunately, many people remain unaware of what renter's insurance actually covers and what it doesn’t. In this blog, we’ll aim to simplify renter's insurance, helping you understand the breadth of coverage and whether or not renter’s insurance is right for your situation. However, we strongly suggest residents review and firm actual coverage with their insurance agent or insurance carrier and not assume any level of coverage.
