Does renters insurance cover carpet damage?

I’ve been renting at the same apartment for about two years. The carpeted floors are starting to get pretty nasty. At this point, they probably need to be replaced. Will my renters insurance cover carpet damage?

Nick Kunze · Updated on Jan 24, 2022

Reviewed by Shannon Martin, Licensed Insurance Agent.

A carpet can really tie the room together, so I totally understand why you’re concerned. Your renters insurance won’t cover carpet damage, but this isn’t necessarily bad news.

Unless you installed the carpet yourself (which is unlikely), then the carpet is your landlord’s property.

Renters insurance

only covers your possessions, not necessarily everything in the apartment.

Your landlord may have coverage for the carpet damage under their own home insurance policy if a named peril caused the damage. This isn’t really your problem, however.

If you want your carpet repaired or replaced, we recommend reaching out to your landlord.

Since you’re reviewing your renters insurance, now is a great time to review your options with

I have a 2016 Nissan LEAF and it seems like the battery is getting less and less range on a full charge lately. I’m sure it’s natural for vehicles, no matter the power source, to become less effective over the years, but is there a specific reason for the battery degradation in this car? I’d like to extend its life as long as possible.
