Is Flood Damage Covered By Your Renters Insurance Policy? <\/h2>\n

Flood damage may be covered by your renter’s insurance policy, or it may be excluded. The key is how your rental space became flooded. If a pipe burst or a water heater cracked, odds are, the water damage will be covered. If heavy rains lead to a river overflowing and flooding the space, odds are, the water damage will not be covered. Always carefully read through your renter’s insurance policy to learn what types of flood damage are covered and excluded. <\/p>\n

How Can You Protect Yourself Against Flood Damage? <\/h2>\n

If certain types of flooding are excluded under your renter’s insurance policy, you will need to purchase a separate flood coverage policy. Many people think that this type of policy is just for homeowners, but it is not. Renters can purchase a flood add-on policy or stand-alone renters insurance flood coverage policy to help protect their belongings from flood damage. <\/p>\n
