While many residents of Lady Lake, FL, may have health insurance and car insurance, apartment renters should also consider acquiring renters insurance. At The Quarters Apartment Homes, we strongly encourage all of our residents to find renters insurance coverage, and if you don’t know where to begin, the friendly professionals at our front office can also be of assistance.
The reason that renters insurance is so important is that the property insurance we have here at The Quarters does not cover your personal belongings. If you want to protect yourself from the financial losses that come from losing your possessions to a theft, fire, or a natural disaster, then getting renters insurance is a must.
However, getting renters insurance is not the only step to protecting your things at your Lady Lake apartment. You should also make a detailed inventory of all of your belongings. Here’s what to do:
-
Make a list of everything you own and brought into the apartment, especially expensive items like televisions, sound or gaming systems, computers, large furniture, bicycles, etc.
-
Ensure that you write down the brands, models, serial numbers, and descriptions. Taking pictures or video of each of the items is also a great idea.
-
Estimate the monetary value of each item and add that to your list.
-
Gather the purchase receipts of your items if you still have them.
-
Once all of these pieces of information are gathered, store this information in a waterproof strong box, safe, or in a deposit box that is hidden in a safe location. It may also be wise to make a digital copy of this list and store it online or in a physical location away from the apartment itself.
Once you have made your list, you’ll have the peace of mind knowing that your valued items are accounted for, and your list can even help you find your ideal level of renters insurance if you’re not already covered.
