A renters insurance policy is designed to help protect renters living in a house or apartment. The typical renters insurance policy includes coverage that helps to protect you, your belongings, and your living arrangements after a covered loss.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">The insurance policy covers damage and will handle the costs for repairs or replacement of many different kinds of things. Our rental insurance package includes coverage for:<\/span><\/p>\n<p><b>Replacement Costs of Your Belongings<\/b><\/p>\n<p><b>Jewelry<\/b><\/p>\n<p><b>Firearms\u00a0<\/b><\/p>\n<p><b>Collectable<\/b><\/p>\n<p><b>Other Valuables<\/b><\/p>\n<p><b>Debris Removal<\/b><\/p>\n<p><b>Property Removal<\/b><\/p>\n<p><b>Temporary Repairs<\/b><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">You may notice that &#8220;other valuables&#8221; is a bit vague. Remember, there are coverage limits. Who says what is valuable and therefore what is covered?<\/span><\/p>\n<h2><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">When Does Renters Insurance Cover Broken TV?<\/span><\/h2>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" class=\"alignnone size-medium wp-image-1277\" src=\"http:\/\/www.prontoinsurance.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/08\/Renters-Insurance-Policy-Details-300x200.jpg\" alt=\"Renters Insurance Policy Details \" width=\"300\" height=\"200\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.prontoinsurance.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/08\/Renters-Insurance-Policy-Details-300x200.jpg 300w, https:\/\/www.prontoinsurance.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/08\/Renters-Insurance-Policy-Details-768x512.jpg 768w, https:\/\/www.prontoinsurance.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/08\/Renters-Insurance-Policy-Details.jpg 1000w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 300px) 100vw, 300px\" \/><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Does renters insurance cover damaged TVs? Yes, but your specific renter insurance policy will determine whether it will or won&#8217;t be covered, how much coverage you get, and which circumstances apply.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">You can file a claim with your insurance policy if the damage is due to a covered peril. Your specific policy will list the covered events for you. In general, they include fire, explosions, and theft. In the event of a catastrophic fire in your apartment, it&#8217;s a pretty good bet your TV will stop working. In this case, a destroyed TV would be replaced.\u00a0 <\/span><\/p>\n<h2><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">What Is Typically Not Covered by Renters Insurance?<\/span><\/h2>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">There are some scenarios in which you\u2019re on your own paying for a broken TV. Accidental damage and regular wear and tear are not covered perils. Something like dropping your TV when you move in or throwing a game controller at it during a rage quit would not be covered. Your TV also won\u2019t be covered by your renters insurance policy if it is very old and simply stops working one day.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">You wouldn&#8217;t dream of driving your car without <\/span><a href=\"https:\/\/www.prontoinsurance.com\/en\/product\/auto-insurance\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">car insurance<\/span><\/a><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">.
