What Mobile Home Renters Insurance Covers

Mobile home renters insurance can help cover your personal property, personal liability, additional living expenses and third-party medical payments. You can only make a claim on your insurance if it falls under approved categories. These typically include fire, theft, vandalism and certain types of water or electrical damage.

  • Personal property coverage: Personal property pertains to items within your mobile home that are lost or damaged due to a covered peril. Examples of personal property include furniture, clothing, electronics and some jewelry. Particularly expensive items that exceed policy limits, such as art or fine jewelry, may require additional coverage.
  • Personal liability coverage: If you're at fault for property damage or injury to others, personal liability protection can cover some medical bills and property damage. For example, if a guest suffers an injury at your mobile home due to your negligence and sues you, you’ll be covered up to your policy limits.
  • Additional living expenses coverage: Sometimes known as loss of use coverage, this helps cover the costs of living elsewhere if your property becomes uninhabitable. You can receive funds to live in an apartment or hotel until your current property is repaired or until you find a new place to live. It can also pay for food and transportation, in some cases.
  • Medical payments coverage: This type of coverage helps pay some medical bills and related expenses if someone is injured on the property, regardless of who is at fault. Rather than suing the policyholder, the injured person can file on the renters insurance policy.

MONEYGEEK EXPERT TIP
