Renters Insurance
Your landlord's insurance does
not cover your personal property. Clothes, jewelry, stereos,
televisions, computers, furniture, artwork and other valuable possessions
are not protected against loss or destruction unless you arrange
coverage through a renters or tenants insurance policy.
The fact is, tenants need special
insurance to protect themselves from the loss of their belongings
as well their own personal liability, the loss of use of their
apartment if there is a fire and for other situations that may arise.
While there are insurance agents and
carriers that recommend minimum levels of protection it is our belief
that for the small amounts of premium saved if any you are better
served purchasing a more sophisticated insurance program.
Some basics and why our policies
are better from the start:
A) Property is covered for a basic
limit of $50,000 for damages arising from perils named in your policy
such as fire, water damage, theft, explosion and more. Coverage
is included in a way that allows you to replace your lost property
with new items. Note: Most policies prove actual cash value "ACV"
for your lost goods, which means you get there depreciated value
or almost nothing for most cloths and furniture unless those items
are quite new. We are including "replacement cost" coverage.
There is a $500 deductable.
There are specific limits on the theft
of certain types of property such as jewelry, money and securities,
water craft, firearms, etc. We will give you a proposal describing
the coverage's in more detail. There is some credit card coverage
and damages to building improvements and betterment's or installations
you made to your rental home at your own expense will be covered
as well up to the policy limits.
B) Loss of use is the extra expense you
incur while staying at a temporary location if your rental home
becomes uninhabitable. While most policies allow a limited dollar
amount for this coverage our program is not limited in the traditional
manner and is far broader...
C) Personal Liability coverage insures
you for claims involving damages for which you are held liable.
Our program starts with a $500,000 limit. Excess limits are available
and highly recommended as a result of the high number of lawsuits
today and the awards. Excess limits are available to and often increased
to $5 Million.
D) Non Owned and Hired Car coverage including
Physical Damage to Hired Cars is an exciting addition to the program
we are offering and is only available through the Lewis Chester's Tenants
Policy and when the insured owns no Automobiles of their own.
We believe we are offering the broadest
insurance packages available whether you buy the Lewis Chester Standard
or Deluxe program. Please review our coverage comparison or discuss
your options further with your Lewis-Chester representative.
Thank you.
