A: A renters policy provides “named perils coverage”. This means that the policy only pays when your property is damaged or destroyed by any of the ways specifically described in the policy. These usually include:

• Fire or lightning
• Windstorm or hail
• Explosions
• Riots
• Aircraft
• Vehicles
• Smoke
• Vandalism or malicious mischief
• Theft
• Falling objects
• Weight of ice, snow, or sleet
• Accidental discharge or overflow of water or steam
• Freezing
• Sudden and accidental damage from artificially generated electrical current
• Volcanic eruptions (but this doesn’t include earthquake or tremors)

Renters coverage applies to your personal property, no matter where you are in the world. This means you’re covered when you are on vacation as well as at home.
