How do you pay for car insurance or renters insurance? It's not too dissimilar to that.
Though, I've moved to a state that has deemed me poor enough to give me Medicaid so the taxpayers pay for mine weather I want it or not. It beats paying almost $800 because living with my mother disqualifies me from the affordable care act subsidy.
there are so many insurances that i don't understand the point of, what am i going to do, accidentally blow up a place i rent? Seems like it's not my problem.
Renters insurance is great. Upstairs neighbor floods your apartment and destroys your stuff? They replace it. Neighbor lights the place on fire? Replaced. Robbery? Replaced.
I recently got robbed and it was wonderful knowing that for all that sucked at least I wasn’t out the thousands of dollars that were stolen. And honestly it was weird dealing with an insurer who just said no problem and sent a check
i could see it being useful in an apartment block in a more direct sense, but outside of that im not really sure the utility in it.
