Conduct a home inventory, make a list, and use it to check that your policy's coverage matches the value of your possessions. Buy renter's insurance, which pays for damaged, destroyed, or stolen personal property. Your landlord's insurance won't cover damage to or loss of your possessions. Also, consider special coverage like flood insurance for your belongings. Be clear about what a policy will cover.
Some policies cover more than others.
Comparison shop for the best coverage at the best price. Policies vary from company to company. Policies in most areas are very affordable. Start with the company that insures your car. Discounts are often available if you carry more than one policy with a company.
