South Carolina Renters Insurance
Renting can be a practical option for many people in Greenville, Simpsonville, Greer, Mauldin, Travelers Rest, and communities throughout the Upstate. Whether you rent an apartment, condo, townhome, or single-family home, it is important to understand how insurance may apply to your personal belongings and liability risks.
Your landlord’s insurance generally applies to the building itself. It typically does not apply to your furniture, clothing, electronics, appliances, jewelry, sports equipment, tools, or other personal belongings.
