Many renters feel like they don&#8217;t need insurance because the landlord will have it, or they don&#8217;t have enough to protect.<\/p>\n<p>At Palm Valley Insurance Inc., we want Ponte Vedra Beach, FL residents to have the coverage they need for every risk that apartment or renting carries. We don&#8217;t want you to be confused by the myths about Florida renters insurance<\/p>\n<p><strong>Myth: Renters Insurance Only Covers Contents<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>Renters insurance does not only cover contents. It covers your contents, and it also covers you in the event of liabilities.<\/p>\n<p>If you are having people over and an accident happens or your dog bites them, you will be held liable. Renters insurance can help to protect you from those liabilities.<\/p>\n<p>Renters insurance does cover your contents. It also covers your contents when you are not at home. If you are traveling, and a belonging covered by your renter&#8217;s insurance gets stolen, you can have that replaced.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Myth: Landlord Insurance Should Cover You<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>This is not the case in all areas of your building or home. Your landlord is required to have insurance for the main building and every hallway and common area.&nbsp;<br \/>\nIf a liability occurs with you or a guest of yours in any of these common areas, the landlord insurance will cover that problem. If the liability happens in your unit, then your insurance will cover that.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Myth: You Must Cover Every Damage in the Unit<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>This is also not true. There are damages that could happen to your unit that aren&#8217;t your responsibility.&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p>Flood, theft, fire damage, those are things that your insurance covers. If there is a structural problem, a contractor causes intentional drama, or an area your landlord services, their insurance covers it.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Get a Quote<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>When you are a renter, a lot of landlords will try and make you feel like you don&#8217;t have rights or are responsible for everything.
