A local point of view
Coverage for what’s yours.
Whether you rent a Center City apartment, a converted rowhome, or a place farther out in the neighborhoods, the owner’s policy generally is not designed to protect your belongings or personal liability. Renters insurance creates a separate layer around what you own and the costs that can follow a covered loss.
What we compare
Look beyond
the premium.
A place to stay
Loss-of-use coverage can help with eligible additional living expenses if a covered loss makes the rental temporarily uninhabitable.
Belongings at home and away
Estimate what it would cost to replace clothing, furniture, electronics, bikes, and everyday essentials, then compare replacement-cost and settlement options.
Personal liability
Review protection for eligible claims involving accidental injury or property damage, plus options for higher-value jewelry, art, instruments, or electronics.

Good to know
Questions, answered.
Is renters insurance required in Philadelphia?+
Pennsylvania law does not generally require renters insurance, but a landlord may make it a condition of the lease. Review your lease and ask for clarification when a required liability limit is listed.
Does my landlord’s policy cover my belongings?+
Typically, a landlord’s policy is intended for the building owner’s property and liability, not a tenant’s furniture, clothing, electronics, or personal liability.
Does renters insurance cover roommates?+
A roommate is not automatically covered in every situation. Each person should be correctly listed or consider a separate policy, depending on the carrier’s rules and the household relationship.
Can renters insurance help after theft away from home?+
Personal property coverage may extend beyond the residence for covered theft, subject to policy terms, limits, deductibles, and exclusions. We can help you compare how an option handles that exposure.
