The Homesite Standard Renters Product (ISO - HO-04)®

Our standard product provides broader coverage for the customer's personal property and the ability to add many optional coverages including scheduling valuable property, special coverages, water back-up, varying deductibles and coverage limits from $36,000 to $100,000. Renters insurance policies are designed to protect your prized possessions, protect you against any personal liability, and provide assistance should your rented home or apartment become damaged or unlivable. Our policies include the following protections:

  • Your personal property starting at $36,000 up to $100,000.
  • Medical expenses (paying up to $1,000* per person if someone is injured on your property).
  • Liability exposures (protecting you against certain risks up to $100,000* per accident for bodily injury or property damage).
  • Our standard Renters product is a "named peril" policy and covers losses from any 17 "named perils." If your property is lost or damaged as a result of one of these perils, your insurance company will compensate you for your loss. The covered perils are as follows:
  • Fire or lightning
  • Windstorm or hail
  • Explosion
  • Riot or civil disturbance
  • Aircraft
  • Vehicles
  • Smoke
  • Vandalism or malicious mischief
  • Theft
  • Volcanic eruption
  • Falling objects
  • Weight of ice, snow, or sleet
  • Accidental discharge or overflow of water
  • Sudden and accidental tearing apart
  • Freezing
  • Artificially generated electrical charge

*Additional limits for medical payments and liability are available, as wells as optional endorsements for property such as personal computer equipment, business property, jewelry, bicycles, cameras, etc.

Limitations - As with most insurance, our policies have per-category limits for certain items such as jewelry, antiques, and furs. If the value of your property exceeds these limits, you will need have to get an appraisal stating its worth. You can then purchase an additional rider to cover the full value of your property.

Liability coverage - Renters insurance also provides liability coverage. Our renters insurance policy covers you for accidents and injuries that occur in your home, as well as accidents outside of your home that are caused by you or your property. (This does not include automobile accidents.) This liability coverage includes legal defense costs, if you are taken to court over such an accident.

Additional living expenses - If your house or apartment is unlivable as a result of any of the 17 named perils, renters insurance will cover your "additional living expenses." That means that it will pay for you to live somewhere else (usually in a comparable house or apartment) while your home is being repaired. The limit on this type of coverage is 40 percent of the amount of your personal property coverage.
