Renters
Insurance
If you are renting an apartment or house in Corona, CA, your landlord's insurance covers the building — but it does nothing to protect your personal belongings or cover you if someone gets hurt in your home. That is where renters insurance comes in.
The good news is that renters insurance is one of the most affordable types of coverage available. Most renters in Corona pay between $10 and $25 per month for a policy that can save them thousands if something goes wrong.
What Does Renters Insurance Cover?
Personal Property Coverage
1
Personal property coverage protects your belongings if they are damaged or stolen. This includes furniture, electronics, clothing, kitchen items, jewelry, and anything else you own inside your rental.
Covered events typically include fire, smoke damage, theft, vandalism, and water damage from burst pipes. It does not cover flooding from outside the building — that requires a separate flood insurance policy.
Liability Coverage
2
If someone is injured in your home and sues you, or if you accidentally damage a neighbor's property, liability coverage pays for your legal costs and any settlements. Most renters insurance policies include at least $100,000 in liability coverage.
Additional Living Expenses
3
If your rental becomes uninhabitable due to a covered event like a fire, additional living expenses coverage pays for your temporary housing costs while your home is being repaired. This includes hotel bills, meals, and other necessary expenses.
