If you’re a renter, you’re used to kicking back while your landlord handles any problems that pop up in your home. Ah, the good life! Now for the reality check: Your personal belongings are your responsibility. If a fire destroys your valuables, or if you’re robbed, you’re on your own. Unless, that is, you have renters insurance.

How much does renters insurance cost?
On average, renters insurance costs $15 to $30 per month. But your actual renters insurance quote depends on both the value of your belongings and where you live.

What kind of renters insurance coverage can I buy?
There are a few different types of renters insurance. Here’s a quick rundown:
