Lemonade renters insurance includes the three standard renters insurance coverages that protect your belongings, shield you from liability and cover additional living expenses. These core coverages form the foundation of what renters insurance covers.
This coverage applies to your belongings when they're damaged or stolen due to covered events like fire, theft or vandalism. Your furniture, electronics, clothing and other personal items receive financial protection up to your policy limit.
Liability coverage handles the financial consequences when someone gets injured in your rental or you accidentally damage someone else's property. The coverage takes care of legal fees, medical bills and settlement costs up to your policy limit.
When a covered event makes your rental unlivable, this coverage handles hotel costs and meal expenses during your temporary relocation. It also covers other additional living expenses like storage fees and pet boarding costs that exceed your normal spending.
If you own high-value possessions, Lemonade's Extra Coverage endorsement extends protection beyond your standard policy limits for items like jewelry, cameras, bikes, fine art and musical instruments, subject to state availability.
The coverage eliminates your deductible on these items, covers accidental damage and protects against mysterious loss when valuable items go missing. You can add Extra Coverage to your policy for an additional charge, and the process to set it up is straightforward through the Lemonade app.
Lemonade's standard renters insurance excludes certain types of damage and losses, including floods, earthquakes, intentional destruction and business operations. These coverage gaps require additional insurance products to address.
Water damage from rising floodwaters and destruction from seismic activity aren't included in your base policy. You'll need to purchase standalone flood insurance through the National Flood Insurance Program or private insurers and separate earthquake coverage if these risks affect your area.
Equipment, inventory and liability related to running a business from your rental aren't covered by renters insurance. If you operate a business from home, you'll need separate business insurance or a business property endorsement.
Your policy won't cover losses you cause on purpose or damage resulting from your criminal actions. Renters insurance protects against accidents and unexpected events, not deliberate destruction or illegal activities.
