What it covers
Tenant insurance usually covers your belongings if they are stolen or damaged, and liability if you accidentally damage someone else's property. It can also pay for a hotel if your unit is unlivable.
Do you need it
It is not required by law, but many landlords ask for it in the lease. It is often inexpensive compared with the cost of replacing your things.
Shop around
Compare a few quotes. Ask what is excluded and what the deductible is.
