I am a professional property manager, AND I am a
renter. As a professional property manager, I would suggest getting
renter’s insurance because one of my big concerns is to protect the owner’s
investment in the property. As a renter who just had a recent renter’s
insurance claim for a kitchen fire, I am here to tell you that the small
monthly fee that you pay for renter’s insurance is well worth your money!
Here’s a little insight into how renters insurance can save
you money: I had a minor kitchen fire in my apartment and nothing besides
the pan actually caught on fire. That pan that burned up caused smoke
damage with expenses totaling about $8000! Not only did renters insurance
help me to clean my entire apartment including all of my clothing, but it also gave
me peace of mind. Because I had insurance the owners didn’t have to worry
about filing a claim on their end, therefore it didn’t affect their
insurance. I am a firm believer in renters insurance and I suggest that
everyone be protected. You will thank yourself when you need it!
Here are some helpful tips for residents from Tualatin
Valley Fire & Rescue for protecting yourself with Kitchen Fires.
- Keep your stovetop clear and clean
