Best Answer

A renters insurance policy offers coverage on a tenant's possessions and contents of the rented property in the event of loss or damage from fire or other catastrophe. While a tenant has no responsibility to ensure the property itself, should they incur a loss the insurance would help them replace their possessions.

No rental insurance damage to rental car?

Renters wanting such coverage should check with their existing car insurance as their existing insurer may be able to add it to their regular yearly policy for a small premium. This provides coverage from an insurance company that they know, instead of unregulated (from insurance standpoint) car-rental outfit, which offering you may understand less.


Would renters insurance cover a ruptured hot water heater?

Yes, but only for the dwelling, not for your renter's belongings. be sure to notify your insurance company that you have renters, your rate will go down because they're not insuring your belongings...and be sure to tell your renters about renters insurance. It should. Read your policy for coverage and see if there is a clause of replacements of items in which way they get damaged. I dont think water damage should be covered any differently then fire damage. The item is damaged and needs to be replaced. You can call your agent and ask them they should be able to tell you positively.
