How soon does renters insurance take effect?
I’m moving into my first apartment soon. The property manager said I’d need to provide proof of renters insurance on move-in day. I completely forgot and I’m moving in two days. How soon can renters insurance take effect?

renters policy
today or tomorrow and have it effective on your move-in date. You’ll want to start requesting quotes from insurance companies as soon as possible. Most companies allow you to request and purchase quotes online through their websites. If you have
car insurance
, check if your provider offers renters insurance. Typically, you can get a bundling discount for having multiple policies. If you want cheap renters insurance quotes fast, go to
