What Does Our
Renters Insurance Cover?

This is the core of your renters policy, which covers all your personal belongings from damage or loss due to a covered peril like fire, theft, vandalism, or certain types of water damage. A unique benefit of this coverage is that it is not limited to the area of the rented home. Your possessions are protected anywhere you travel. If your laptop is stolen from your car across town or your luggage is lost while traveling, this coverage can help cover the cost of replacement.

This coverage is crucial for protecting your financial future if you are found legally responsible for accidentally causing harm to others or their property in your rented home. For example, if someone slips on a wet floor in your place or if you leave a tub running and the water floods into the neighbor’s place, this coverage comes in to protect you.

If a covered event, such as a fire or extensive water damage, forces you out of your rental unit, Additional Living Expenses coverage steps in to pay for the increased costs of living elsewhere. This includes money for hotel stays or a temporary rental, food costs, and other expenses necessary to maintain your normal standard of living until you can move back in.

WHAT IS NOT COVERED BY RENTERS INSURANCE?

While renters insurance is a powerful coverage to have, it is essential to understand what your standard policy does not cover, as this prevents future surprises and allows you to proactively secure necessary endorsements or separate policies.

Factors that affect the
Cost of Renters Insurance

Renters insurance is already one of the most affordable types of coverage, but several factors influence the final premium you pay:

Amount of Personal Property

The higher the coverage limit you choose for your belongings, the higher the premium will be.

Deductibles

Choosing a higher deductible amount is the most direct way to reduce your annual premium.

Location or Zip Code

Living in an area with a higher claim frequency, mostly due to high theft or vandalism rates, or a greater environmental risk, will slightly increase your cost.

Credit History

In Nebraska, similar to homeowners' insurance, insurance companies use a credit-based insurance score as one factor to assess risk. A better score generally translates to a lower premium.

Safety Features

Having functional smoke detectors, burglar alarms, and deadbolts often qualifies you for discounts.

Bundling

Living in an area with a higher claim frequency, mostly due to high theft or vandalism rates, or a greater environmental risk, will slightly increase your cost.

Customer Reviews

Questions,
answered.

Everything Omaha clients ask most — in plain English. If you don’t see yours, our agents are a phone call away.

Is renters' insurance required in Omaha?

While Nebraska state law does not mandate renters insurance, many landlords and property management companies require tenants to carry renters insurance as a mandatory part of the lease agreement, primarily to ensure the tenant carries liability coverage.

How much renters insurance do I need in Omaha?

You should choose a personal property limit based on a home inventory. Try to incorporate everything you own in the rented place, like your furniture, electronics, clothes, appliances, etc.

Will renters insurance cover my expensive jewelry or engagement ring?

Standard personal property coverage places low limits on high-value items like jewelry, firearms, and fine art, in case they are stolen. To ensure these items for their full replacement value, you need to purchase a Scheduled Personal Property Endorsement.

Does renters insurance cover me if my apartment is broken into?

When you buy renters insurance, you want to make sure your most valuable assets are covered. We can help you determine how much you need to protect your home and personal belongings at a rate that fits your budget.

Does my renters insurance cover water damage in Omaha?

It covers sudden water damage like burst pipes or overflowing toilets, but not flooding from outside water. For flood coverage, you need separate flood insurance.

Can I cancel my renters insurance if I buy a home?

Yes, you can cancel your renters insurance when you purchase a home, but you must ensure you have homeowners insurance in place before canceling your renters policy. There should be no gap in coverage between the two policies.
