Does my live-in boyfriend's home insurance cover my stolen property?
"I've been living with my boyfriend for the last year and a half. The house is in his name only. His garage was recently broken into and nearly everything was damaged or stolen. The thief swiped my bicycle and tennis equipment. Will his home insurance cover my belongings?

renters insurance
. Even though you are not paying rent, you still need to purchase renters insurance in order to cover your property.View full answer
