If you are thinking about moving into a new apartment, you might also want to start thinking about renters insurance. Some landlords require renters insurance before you sign your lease, but even if they don’t, there are several benefits that come along with investing in renters insurance. 

Renters insurance protects your personal property in case of theft, fire or water damage, and some extreme weather conditions. Renters insurance also protects you in liability lawsuits, for example if someone was injured in an accident in your home your renter’s insurance will pay for his or her injuries.
