Renters insurance in San Antonio
Your landlord insures the building, not your laptop, couch or the guest who trips on your stairs. Renters coverage fixes that.
How we approach renters coverage
Most apartment communities near UTSA, the Medical Center and the Pearl now require renters insurance with at least $100,000 of liability. It is one of the least expensive policies you can buy and one of the most useful after a break-in or a kitchen fire.
We help you pick a personal property limit that matches what you own, choose replacement cost so you are not paid for a 6-year-old TV, and add your landlord as an interested party so the leasing office gets proof automatically.
