Getting your first apartment is a big step, and it’s great that you’re thinking about a budget beforehand. It’s a great idea to purchase a
renters insurance
policy to protect your new home, even if it is not legally required. There is no law in Virginia requiring renters to have renters insurance. However, your landlord may require you to get a renters insurance policy for your new lease. Your landlord may also specify a required minimum coverage level for your renters insurance.
It is a smart idea to purchase renters insurance because it provides legal and financial protection to both yourself and your property. Renters insurance policies in Virginia generally have these coverages:
- Personal property
- Personal liability
- Medical payments
- Additional living expenses
Renters insurance is a fairly affordable way to protect yourself and your belongings from covered perils.
