michigan-college-renters-insurance.pngWhy Renters Insurance Is a Smart Move in College 

Let’s be real: if you’re a student renting off-campus in Michigan, you’ve got a lot of stuff. Laptops, gaming systems, sneakers, textbooks, headphones — all of it adds up. What happens if there’s a fire? Or your stuff gets stolen? 

🔹Renters insurance protects your things and saves your wallet in a disaster.

🔹 don’t cover your personal stuff

🔹 parents’ home policies don’t apply off-campus

🔹 often require renters insurance

🔹 bringing thousands of dollars worth of gear to school

🔹 can cover you if someone gets hurt in your apartment


What’s Actually Covered

A standard Michigan renters policy covers your stuff if it’s damaged or stolen due to:

🔥 Fire Or Lightning

💨 Windstorms or hail

🚪Theft or vandalism

💥Explosions or smoke

Choose Between Two Types of Coverage:

1. Actual Cash Value (ACV) – Pays you for what your stuff is worth today (minus depreciation).

2. Replacement Cost – Pays you what it takes to buy a brand-new version. (A little pricier, but way better!)


More Coverage Perks You Didn’t Know You Needed ?

💡Loss of Use – Covers hotel or housing if your place becomes unlivable

💡Medical Payment to Others – Covers basic bills if someone trips and gets hurt in your apartment

💡Liability Protection– Covers legal fees if someone sues you (starts at $100K)


What Renters Insurance Doesn’t Cover 🚫

Some items need a little extra love (aka a rider):

💎 Expensive jewelry

🖼️ Collectibles

🕹️ High-end electronics

Your agent can help you protect your gear the right way.
