Renters Insurance Information

Understanding Renters Insurance

Renters insurance policies are designed to protect personal possessions, protect against any personal liability, and provide assistance if an apartment or home is damaged due to a loss.

Homesite Insurance offers two different renters insurance products. Our Standard Renters product is based on the ISO HO-04® and provides broader coverage for a customer's personal property. Our Homesite Renters Express® (Renters Express) product is designed for customers who reside in an apartment complex and are looking for basic coverage. It is important to note that the Renters Express product does not provide the same coverage as the HO-04 and is a named perils policy.
