Your Landlord's Insurance Doesn't Cover Your Belongings

This is the most important thing most renters don't know: your landlord's property insurance covers the building — not your furniture, electronics, clothing, or personal items inside it. If there's a fire, theft, or burst pipe, your belongings are your responsibility.

Renters insurance in Virginia and Maryland is remarkably affordable — often $14–25 per month — and covers your personal property, provides personal liability protection, and pays additional living expenses if your apartment becomes uninhabitable.

For many Virginia and Maryland apartment renters, renters insurance also includes liability coverage that protects you if a guest is injured in your unit or if you accidentally damage a neighbor's property.

Some landlords in Northern Virginia and Maryland now require renters insurance as a lease condition. Even where it's not required, it's one of the best values in insurance.

What Renters Insurance Covers

More Than Just Your Stuff

🛋️

Personal Property

Covers your belongings — furniture, electronics, clothing, jewelry, and more — against fire, theft, vandalism, and other covered perils. Both inside your apartment and away from home in many cases.

⚖️

Personal Liability

Protects you if someone is injured in your apartment or if you accidentally damage someone else's property. Covers legal defense costs if you're sued — often up to $100,000.

🏨

Additional Living Expenses

If your apartment becomes uninhabitable after a covered loss — fire, flood, or other damage — renters insurance pays for temporary housing, meals, and other increased costs while you're displaced.
