Does Progressive Sell Renters Insurance? 
Yes they do , in most States . It covers your possessions when renting a residence . In addition to Progressive , many companies sell this important product . However , they may not offer it in all States . It is an important coverage . One of my adult Sons found out first hand when a grease fire set his rented apartment ablaze when he was in college , damaging most of his possessions and causing smoke damage to other units within the complex -LRB- liability issue -RRB- . Fortunately and surprising to me ... as his Father ... he had purchased a renters policy ! It also protects the policyholder with liability coverage for accidents that might harm someone on the rented premises , as a result of possible/alleged policyholder negligence . Like homeowner insurance , renters insurance protects the policyholder 's property from damage caused by several common perils , including fire , theft , water damage and other circumstances that a landlord policy might not cover .
