What Does Renter’s Insurance Cover?
Byars Wright’s renter’s insurance covers three main areas: personal property, liability, and additional living expenses. Personal property coverage protects your belongings, such as furniture, electronics, and clothing, from fire, theft, vandalism, and natural disasters. Personal liability renter’s insurance protects you financially if you’re found responsible for injuring someone or damaging their property, covering legal fees and damages.
Additionally, if your rental becomes uninhabitable due to a covered loss, some of our renter’s insurance policies cover additional living expenses like hotel stays or temporary rentals. When choosing Byars Wright, we’ll carefully review your policy. That way, you can understand your coverage limits, exclusions, and deductibles before signing on.

Renter’s Insurance Coverage FAQs
Does Renter’s Insurance Cover Theft?
Yes, renter’s insurance typically covers theft as part of personal property coverage. Suppose your belongings are stolen from your rental property. In that case, your renter’s insurance policy can help cover the cost of replacing the damaged or stolen items up to the policy’s coverage limits. Reviewing your policy to understand the specific coverage details, including any limitations, deductibles, and exclusions related to stolen or damaged items, is essential. Additionally, filing a police report and providing documentation of the stolen items may be necessary when making a theft claim for replacement cost coverage.
Is Renter’s Insurance Required?
Alabama has no statewide law requiring renters to have renter’s insurance. However, some landlords require tenants to purchase renter’s insurance as a condition of the lease agreement. This requirement often stems from landlords wanting to protect themselves and their property from potential damages or losses caused by tenants.
Renter’s insurance covers personal belongings and liability coverage, ensuring tenants can meet their legal responsibility if their actions result in damages or destruction of the rental property. It’s essential for tenants to carefully review their lease agreements to understand any insurance requirements set by their landlords. While not legally mandated, having renter’s insurance is generally advisable for tenants in Alabama to protect their personal belongings and liability interests.
Does Renter’s Insurance Cover the Cost of Medical Bills?
Depending on your policy, renter’s insurance typically includes liability coverage, which can help cover the cost of medical bills if someone is injured on your rental property and you are found legally responsible. This coverage, often called “medical payments to others” or “guest medical coverage,” can help pay for medical expenses such as doctor’s visits, hospital stays, and other necessary medical treatments for the injured party, regardless of who is at fault.
However, the coverage limits for medical payments to others are usually lower than liability coverage for property damage or legal fees. Review your renter’s insurance policy to understand the specific coverage limits and any exclusions related to medical payments.
Does Renter’s Insurance Cover Certain Legal Costs?
Liability coverage can help cover certain legal costs if you are sued for accidental bodily injury or property damage to others. This coverage can assist with legal fees, court costs, and settlements or judgments if you are found legally responsible for the injury or damage. The renter’s insurance may also cover legal defense costs, including hiring a lawyer to represent you in court.
However, reviewing your policy to understand the specific coverage limits and any exclusions related to legal costs is essential. If you are sued for damages or someone is injured on your rental property, you would file a claim with your renter’s insurance company, such as us at Byars Wright. We would then assess the claim and provide coverage up to the limits of your policy.
