Virginia renters insurance

Renters insurance for Virginia apartments, townhomes, and leased homes.

Your landlord's policy protects the building. It usually does not protect your belongings or your personal liability. Renters insurance helps close that gap.

Coverage limits

Renters insurance limits to think through

Personal property

Estimate what it would cost to replace furniture, clothing, electronics, kitchen items, and belongings in storage.

Replacement cost

Replacement cost coverage can pay to replace covered items without depreciation, depending on the policy.

Personal liability

Helps if you are legally responsible for covered injury or property damage to someone else.

Loss of use

Can help with extra living costs if a covered loss makes your rental unlivable.

What it covers

Renters coverage is small but mighty.

A renters policy can help after covered losses such as fire, theft, smoke, vandalism, windstorm, hail, and some water damage. Flood, sewer backup, earthquake, and certain other losses may need separate coverage or endorsements.

Renters FAQs

Common Virginia renters insurance questions

Does my landlord cover my belongings?

Usually no. A landlord's policy generally protects the building owner's property, not your personal property.

How much personal property coverage do I need?

A room-by-room inventory is the best starting point. We can help you estimate a practical limit.

Can renters insurance help with auto discounts?

Often, yes. Some carriers offer account or bundle discounts when renters and auto are written together.
