Protect What You Own—Even If You Don't Own the Building

Many renters and condo owners mistakenly believe their landlord's or condo association's insurance will cover their personal belongings. In reality, those policies typically protect the building itself—not your furniture, clothing, electronics, or personal liability.

 

Renters and condo insurance provide affordable protection for your belongings, your finances, and your peace of mind.

​

At M&M Insurance Agency, we help renters and condo owners throughout Michigan and Wisconsin find coverage that fits their needs and budget.

​

Why Do I Need Renters Insurance?

If a fire, theft, windstorm, or water damage event occurs, replacing your belongings can be expensive.

 

Renters insurance can help protect:

• Furniture

• Clothing

• Electronics

• Computers

• Appliances

• Jewelry

• Sporting equipment

• Household items

 

Most renters are surprised to learn how quickly personal property values add up.

 

What Does Renters Insurance Cover?

 

Personal Property Coverage

Helps repair or replace your belongings after a covered loss such as:

• Fire

• Smoke damage

• Theft

• Vandalism

• Windstorms

• Certain types of water damage

​

Personal Liability Coverage

Protects you if you are legally responsible for:

• Injuries to others

• Property damage to someone else's property

• Certain legal expenses

​

Medical Payments Coverage

Provides limited coverage for medical expenses if a guest is injured in your residence.

​

Additional Living Expenses

If a covered loss makes your apartment or rental home uninhabitable, this coverage may help pay for:

• Hotel stays

• Temporary housing

• Additional food expenses

• Other necessary living costs

​

Condo Insurance: What's Different?

Condo owners have unique insurance needs.

 

While the condo association typically insures portions of the building, unit owners are often responsible for:

• Interior walls

• Flooring

• Cabinets

• Fixtures

• Improvements and upgrades

• Personal belongings

• Personal liability

​​

A condo insurance policy helps fill these coverage gaps.

​​

What's Covered Inside a Condo?

Coverage may include:

• Kitchen cabinets

• Countertops

• Flooring

• Appliances

• Bathroom fixtures

• Interior improvements

• Personal belongings

​

Because every condo association is different, we recommend reviewing your association's master policy to determine what you are responsible for insuring.

​​

Common Reasons for Claims

Renters and condo claims often involve:

• Fire damage

• Theft

• Water damage

• Wind damage

• Liability claims

• Guest injuries

• Smoke damage

 

Having the right coverage in place before a loss occurs can make a significant difference during the claims process.

 

Affordable Protection

Renters insurance is often one of the most affordable insurance policies available.

 

Many policies cost less than many people spend on streaming subscriptions each month while providing thousands of dollars in protection.

​

Additional Coverage Options

Depending on your needs, additional protection may be available for:

 

Jewelry

Coverage for engagement rings, watches, and valuable jewelry.

​

Firearms

Additional protection for firearms and related equipment.

​

Electronics

Expanded protection for computers, cameras, and other electronics.

​

Identity Theft Protection

Coverage for expenses related to restoring your identity.

​

Personal Umbrella Insurance

Additional liability protection above your renters or condo policy limits.
