Seattle Renters Insurance and Policies

Renters Insurance

Protect Your Personal Belongings as a Seattle Renter

When you rent in Seattle, whether you have an apartment downtown or a little house by Lake Union, you don’t need to insure the actual structure you live in — that’s the landlord’s responsibility. But you do want to protect your belongings, like:

Furniture
Housewares
Electronics
Clothing
Small appliances
Personal items

Renters insurance lets you cover those belongings and pays to replace them in the event of a fire, severe storm, theft, or vandalism. You insure only what belongs to you and let your landlord insure their dwelling.

Consider Increasing Your Protection for Greater Peace of Mind

Along with protecting your belongings, most renters insurance policies offer basic liability protection. This can pay for damages if someone has an accident on your property, such as slipping on your icy front steps. Otherwise, you’d have to pay for the other party’s medical care and lost work time out of your own pocket.

You can increase that liability protection with a personal umbrella policy, which picks up where your renters insurance cap leaves off. We encourage renters with dogs, in particular, to consider personal umbrella coverage in case of a bite incident.

You can also boost your renters insurance protection by adding earthquake or flood insurance based on where you live. Some waterfront locations are prone to water damage, and the Pacific Northwest as a whole is at risk of major seismic events.
