RENTERS INSURANCE

What’s covered?Your policy could help pay for a variety of property and liability claims:

• Property: The stuff you keep in your place, such as your furniture, clothes, and electronics. It could even cover belongings you take with you while away from home.

• Liability: In certain situations, your State Farm Renters Policy could help protect your finances by paying for damages which you’re legally responsible for, and even your legal defense. For example, the policy could help cover legal defense costs if a visitor accidentally got hurt at your place and took you to court.

PROTECT WHAT YOU OWN.Say your place catches fire. Maybe a pipe bursts and floods your apartment. Or you come home to a broken lock, a trashed apartment and your most treasured possessions missing. What now?

Don’t let a break-in rob you of your financial security.Sure, your landlord’s policy covers your building. But if the unexpected strikes, a State Farm® Renters Policy covers your stuff. If your apartment is burglarized or damaged by a wide variety of causes, your policy could help foot the bill to replace your belongings. And it could cost less than you think: if you already have a State Farm Auto Policy, it only costs $4 to $5 more per month for a State Farm Renters Policy.1

All property coverages are subject to exclusions, including those found in either the SECTION I – LOSSES NOT INSURED or the SECTION II – EXCLUSIONS area of the policy, depending on the state where you reside.

Your policy could help after many different losses, including those caused by:

�Theft

�Fire or lightning

�Windstorm or hail

�Smoke

� Artificially generated electrical current (power surge)

� Vandalism or malicious mischief

� Freezing of plumbing system

� Weight of ice, snow, or sleet

Other costs covered by the policyYour policy may also help pay for:

• Removal of your damaged property after a fire, or other loss covered by the policy.

• Extra expenses for your household to live elsewhere, if your home is uninhabitable because of damage covered by the policy.

What’s not covered?There are causes of loss that the policy doesn’t cover. For example:

• Water damage caused by flood or underground water

• Liability for business-related activities

• Liability for intentional injury or property damage

• Damage caused by earthquake or mudslide

You may want to talk to your agent about a separate earthquake policy.

Flood insurance is available through the U.S. Government’s National Flood Insurance Program, and can be purchased in participating communities. State Farm agents enrolled in the NFIP Direct Program can write and service flood insurance coverage directly through the federal government. There is generally a 30-day waiting period for the policy to go into effect

For more information about what isn’t covered, please refer to either the SECTION I – LOSSES NOT INSURED or SECTION II – EXCLUSIONS section of the policy.

DeductiblesA “deductible” is the amount that you are responsible for when you file a claim. For example, let’s say you file a claim for $10,000 after a burglary, and your deductible is $500. If $10,000 is the covered amount of loss, after applying your deductible the payment would be $9,500.00.

Generally, the higher your deductible, the lower your premium. But with a higher deductible, your financial responsibility could be higher if you file a claim. Your agent can help you determine the deductible that’s right for you.

Coverage capsYour State Farm Renters Policy has coverage limits on certain types of property, such as computers, collectibles, jewelry, and other valuables.

Here’s an example: Suppose your apartment had been broken into and your computer and printer were stolen. If your policy limit for home computers and equipment was $5,000, the policy would reimburse you up to that limit after your deductible has been met.2

Your coverage needs may change over time, so be sure to review your policy with your agent every year.

Did you know?

If you have your auto and renters insurance with State Farm, you could qualify for discounts on both policies.

Stay organized with a home inventory3

Creating an inventory of your possessions could really help make your life easier. And thanks to our online tool, the State Farm HomeIndex®, creating an inventory is easier than ever. This tool is only available to State Farm customers, and can be used to:

• Build an online inventory. Snap a picture of each valuable, add its name and cost to replace it, and assign it to a category. You can add more details if you like, and then safely store your inventory electronically via the cloud.

• Easily access your inventory. Since your inventory is online, you can update it using a mobile device or computer. This tool enables you to filter your list and email it to yourself, your State Farm agent, or even a relative, when needed. Plus, if you need to file a claim, you’ll have a list of your possessions ready.

• Make moving easier. When you’re getting ready for a move, use our tool’s Pack and Labeling system to easily print labels listing the contents of each box. It’s a simple way to keep organized from start to finish during your move.
