Frequently Asked Questions
Everything you need to know about renters insurance in California.
Do I really need renters insurance?
Yes. Your landlord’s insurance only covers the building — not your belongings. Renters insurance protects your personal property, provides liability coverage, and covers additional living expenses if your rental becomes uninhabitable.
How much does renters insurance cost in California?
Renters insurance in California typically costs $15–$30 per month. It’s one of the most affordable insurance products and provides significant protection for your belongings and liability.
What does renters insurance cover?
Renters insurance covers your personal property (furniture, electronics, clothing), personal liability, medical payments to others, and loss of use (temporary housing if your rental is damaged).
How do I determine how much coverage I need?
Take a home inventory of your belongings and estimate their replacement value. Don’t forget electronics, clothing, furniture, and kitchen items — they add up quickly. Most renters need $20,000–$50,000 in personal property coverage.
