Why do YOU need Renters Insurance?
Although renters insurance is not required by law in Florida, apartment complexes and landlords often need tenants to purchase Renters Insurance before signing the lease agreement. Because the landlord's insurance only covers the damage to the actual dwelling, your renters insurance will protect your belongings inside the apartment in case of fire, theft, or injury.
What factors impact the Renters Insurance premium?
- The amount of coverage you chose
- The value of your personal property and whether your policy covers ACV or replacement costs
- The amount of your deductible
- The amount of liability coverage you choose
- The location of your rental home
Are the crime rates exceptionally high in your neighborhood? Rates may be higher as a result. Is the area prone to higher risks for wind or hurricane damage? These factors matter as well. - Discounts
You may be eligible for discounts if you have purchased other insurance policies with the provider or bundled your insurance. There are also discounts available for renters with added security features- such as deadbolt locks, security systems, smoke detectors, etc.
What are the Florida renters insurance discounts?
Most carriers provide various discounts for renters insurance, just like auto insurance. Here are some most common deals.
Discount | Description |
---|---|
Multi-Policy | If you purchase both renters and auto insurance from the same company, you may qualify for a discount for the auto insurance. |
Secure Home | Secure home If you have extinguishers or burglar alarm devices or are in a gated community, you may qualify for the secured home discount. It averages about 5% from quite a few carriers. |
Claim-free | Just like auto insurance is lower for accident-free drivers, renters insurance is also cheaper for claim-free tenants. If you have never reported any claims, you will qualify for claim-free discounts from several carriers. |
Age | Usually, for renters insurance, older people pay less than younger people for a similar property. If you're a college student trying to find a renters policy for your apartment near school, you will pay more. |
Good Credit | A customer with a credit score higher than 700 can often get a better rate than those who don’t. |
Pay-in-full | If the carrier supports monthly and yearly payments, paying in full will usually give you a discount. In other words, if you choose to pay monthly, you should pay attention to the extra fee your carrier charges. |
Paperless | A few providers have paperless discounts if you opt-in. But more modern insurance companies will give you a competitive offer directly with more digitalized systems. |
What are the risks to consider in Florida?
Florida tenants face the risks of natural hazards such as fire, hurricane, and freezing. However, most renters insurance policies do not cover damages to your personal property caused by a flood or an earthquake. Therefore, it is also a good idea to check with your insurance agent and learn more about what policies cover these specific disasters.
Last but not least, thanks to the increased risk of the exposure of personal information on the Internet in today's digital world, it is also essential to check if your renter's insurance provides identity theft protection.
