Why Students Need Renters Insurance
Your landlord's insurance covers the building — not your laptop, furniture, or clothes. If a pipe bursts, a fire starts, or someone breaks in, everything you own is on you unless you have your own policy.
- Protect laptops, phones, textbooks, and electronics from theft, fire, and water damage
- Meet landlord lease requirements — many Batavia landlords require proof of coverage
- Liability protection if someone is injured in your apartment
- Temporary living expenses if your unit becomes unlivable after a covered event
- Coverage often extends to belongings stolen from your car or while traveling
Most students underestimate what they own until they add it up. A laptop, phone, clothes, and furniture can easily exceed $5,000 — and replacing everything out-of-pocket after a loss is not realistic on a student budget.
Your Landlord's Policy Does Not Cover Your Stuff
This is the most common misconception among renters, especially students. Your landlord carries insurance on the building structure — walls, roof, common areas. Their policy explicitly excludes tenant belongings. If a fire or flood damages your apartment, the landlord's insurance rebuilds the unit. Your things inside? That is entirely on you.
Renters insurance fills that gap for as little as $10 a month. It covers your personal property, provides liability protection, and can even pay for temporary housing if you cannot live in your apartment after a covered loss.
