Renters ยท Flagstaff, AZ

Renters insurancein a town that mostly rents.

More homes in Flagstaff are rented than owned. Cover for your things, your liability and somewhere to sleep when the building you live in becomes uninhabitable in January.

Owner-occupancy here is 42.3%, the lowest of the three cities we write for. Renting is the normal case, not the exception.

Common Issues We Solve

What renters here actually need it for

Three uses that come up far more often than burglary, which is what most people picture.

Somewhere to stay when the heat fails

Loss of use is the coverage nobody reads and the one that matters most here. If a pipe lets go upstairs in February and the unit is uninhabitable, this is what pays for the room you have to rent while it dries out. In a town with a tight rental market and a cold winter, that is not a small benefit.

Your landlord covers the building, not your things

The policy on the building pays to repair the building. It does nothing for your laptop, your gear, your bike or your bed. People discover this split after a loss with striking regularity, usually while standing in a unit that is no longer theirs to use.

Liability, including for a dog or a guest

If someone is hurt in your unit, or you damage the unit itself, that is your liability rather than the owner's. It is the cheapest part of an already cheap policy and the part most likely to be the reason you needed one.

What Is Covered

Worth knowing before you sign

Replacement cost, not actual cash value

Actual cash value depreciates a four-year-old laptop to very little. Replacement cost pays what a new one costs. The difference in premium is small and the difference after a loss is not.

Roommates are not automatically covered

A policy covers the people named on it. Two people splitting a flat usually need either both names on one policy or a policy each, and assuming otherwise only surfaces at claim time.

Flood is separate here too

Renters forms exclude rising water exactly as homeowners forms do. A ground-floor unit below a burn scar is worth a conversation about contents flood cover, which exists and is inexpensive.

FAQ

Renters questions from Flagstaff

My landlord has insurance. Why do I need my own?
Because theirs covers their building and their liability, not your belongings and not yours. If the roof fails and your things are ruined, their policy repairs the roof. Yours is what replaces what was underneath it.
Is my stuff covered if I am a student and still on my parents' policy?
Sometimes, partially, and with conditions about enrollment and where you live. It is worth checking rather than assuming, because the limit that applies off-premises is usually a fraction of the household one and liability may not extend at all.
What does it cost?
Renters cover is one of the least expensive policies sold and it is usually a few dollars a month rather than a few tens. We will quote it honestly against more than one carrier, and we will not pretend the price is the interesting part. The limits are.
The building flooded from a burst pipe. Is that flood?
No, and the distinction is good news. Water escaping from a plumbing system inside the building is not flood; flood means water that rose from outside. A burst pipe upstairs is normally a covered peril on a renters policy, including the cost of staying elsewhere while the unit dries.
