Renters insurance — small policy, big protection

Your landlord's policy doesn't cover your stuff

If you rent an apartment, house, or duplex in Knox County, your landlord's insurance protects the building — not your furniture, electronics, clothes, or anything you own. If a fire, burst pipe, or break-in wipes everything out, replacing it falls entirely on you.

Renters insurance is one of the cheapest policies we write, and it solves three big problems at once: it replaces your belongings, it pays liability if a guest gets hurt or you accidentally damage the property, and it covers a hotel and meals if your unit becomes unlivable. Most renters in Ohio are paying less per month than a single takeout order.

What renters insurance actually covers

A standard renters policy has three buckets: personal property (your stuff, even when it's in your car or on a trip), personal liability (if someone is injured in your unit or you damage someone else's property), and loss of use (somewhere to live while your unit is repaired). For a few dollars a month, it's the closest thing to a financial cheat code in insurance.

  • Personal Property
  • Personal Liability
  • Medical Payments to Others
  • Loss of Use (Hotel & Meals)
  • Theft & Vandalism
  • Off-Premises Property
FAQ

Frequently Asked Questions

Is renters insurance required in Ohio?
Ohio does not require renters insurance by state law, but a growing number of landlords and property managers require it as a condition of the lease. Either way, it's worth carrying — your landlord's policy does nothing for your personal belongings or your liability.
How much does renters insurance cost?
Most renters in Knox County pay between $12 and $25 per month for solid coverage. The exact rate depends on how much personal property you want to insure, your liability limits, and whether you bundle with auto. We'll quote it in a few minutes.
Does renters insurance cover my roommate?
Not automatically. Renters policies only cover the named insured and immediate family. If you live with a roommate, each of you should have your own policy — it keeps the coverage clean and the claim process simple.
Are my belongings covered when I'm traveling?
Yes. A renters policy includes off-premises personal property coverage, so a laptop stolen from your car, a suitcase lost on a trip, or a bike taken from outside a coffee shop is generally covered (subject to the policy limits and deductible).
