It is true that Delaware has very high property values on
homes, anyone who lives in Delaware would be quick to tell
you that. What so many Delaware residents and tenants neglect
to do is protect their belongings with a Delaware renters
insurance policy.
Many Delaware renters and apartment dwellers are under
the false impression that the landlord's responsibility is
to maintain insurance on their personal belongings. Nothing
could be further from the truth....the landlord or apartment
complex does not have what insurance companies call an insurable
interest in the tenant's personal belongings (clothing,
furniture, electronics, etc.) Imagine for a moment that there
was a fire in your rental home or apartment complex; can you
imagine the insurance company paying the landlord, property
owner or apartment complex for damage to your furniture,
clothing or television set? Would the property owner give
you the money to take care of your valuable belongings? In
almost all cases, you would not be able to recover from a
theft or catastrophic loss. This is the purpose of Delaware
renters insurance (also known as Delaware apartment
insurance or Delaware tenant insurance).
With a renters insurance policy in Delaware, you, the
tenant, are the insured; not the landlord or apartment
complex in the event of a claim. The insurance company would
pay you for damaged or stolen belongings you have in the event
of a claim.
Now, here is the good news: Delaware renters insurance
is not that expensive. Typically, the Delaware renters insurance
policy covers three basic things:
1. Your contents (Your "Stuff"). (Including
furniture, jewelry, electronics and other valuables).
2. Personal liability exposures. This would protect
you in the event of someone getting hurt or harmed unintentionally
while on the premises you occupy.
3. Guest medical payments. This part of the policy
protects you against lawsuits from small injuries that happen
to your guests while on your premises. (Slips and falls, etc.)
The Delaware renters insurance policy does not cover the
dwelling structure itself. Protecting the dwelling structure
itself is the landlord's, property owner's or
apartment complex responsibility. Consequently, this is why
the policy does not cost as much as a regular Delaware homeowners
insurance policy. No coverage on the dwelling means a lower
premium for the renter.
Doesn't it make sense to protect the things you have worked
so hard for? Things you have had to pay off? US Insurance
