Why 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!)

💡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)
