You'll Wish You Had Renter's Insurance If. . . | RDNY.com
08 Oct
 |
We never know when a calamity will strike. The upstairs neighbor might leave their bathtub running until if overflows into your apartment. Or the bacon you were cooking suddenly catches fire and damages your kitchen stove and cabinets, or? who knows what kind of calamity can strike. That?s why you?ll want to have low cost renters insurance.
Renters insurance is a policy designed to protect tenants from a significant financial loss in the event their belongings are destroyed in a fire or other disaster, or stolen during a break-in. If you have an apartment rental in NY, consider taking advantage of a renters insurance policy to help you, your family and/or your roommates avoid financial disaster.
Before buying a policy, it is important to shop around for the best prices. Websites like Kemper.com provide quotes for many types of policies, including renters insurance. But there is a lot more to buying a policy than the cost. If you have an NYC rental apartment, you need to have renters insurance.
Find the Right Policy with the Help of 10 Tips
- Personal Possessions - This part of the policy pays a set dollar amount in the event that all of your belongings are lost because of a covered peril. In order to find out how much coverage you need, you will have to record the value of your belongings. The best way to determine the value of your possessions is to make a list of the things you own and estimate the value of each item.
- Flood Insurance -Some policy owners think flood damage is covered in their policy. Flood damage is not covered unless you own a flood insurance policy.
- Choose your own deductible - The deductible is something you pay before the insurance company pays the remainder of the claim. Before considering what deductible to have on the policy, know the difference between a $1,000, a $500 and a $250 deductible. The difference is usually only a few dollars, so it may be worth having a low deductible.
- Jewelry - Jewelry losses top the number of claims filed by policy owners across the country. Unless you endorse your high-dollar items, there is a good chance the policy will only pay out a small percentage of the value. Every type of home policy has set limits to the value of certain items like computers, jewelry, cash and other high-value items. If you have a valuable piece of jewelry endorse it on the policy for its appraised value.
- Replacement Cost - A renters policy can be written with actual cash value (ACV) or replacement cost. Actual cash value will pay what the item is worth after depreciation. Replacement cost pays what the item is worth to replace at today?s price. Not every policy is written with replacement cost so be sure to request this level of coverage.
- Documenting Items - Keep a list or video of what you actually own. It is up to the policy owner to document what they have and be able to prove it when the time comes.
- Bundling - Bundle a renters policy with auto insurance for a multi-policy discount.
- Structure Damage - Renters insurance only pays for a personal belongings. If there is damage to the home, it will be up to the property owner to fix the damages.
- Relatively Low Price - The cost to buy renters insurance is cheaper than most other types of home policies. The cost depends on how much personal property you insure and for how much.
- Customizable Policies - This is a policy that can be tailored to fit your personal needs. You can lower the coverage limits to fit your situation.

Illustrated Ke$ha memoir coming in November
NEW YORK (AP) ? Music is not the only way for Ke$ha to tell a story.
The million-selling singer-songwriter has signed with Touchstone for the illustrated memoir "My Crazy Beautiful Life."
It's scheduled to come out Nov. 20, shortly before her new album, "Warrior." According to Touchstone, an imprint of Simon & Schuster, the book will feature Ke$ha's "thoughts and reflections" and pictures spanning from her childhood to her recent tour.
"In less than three years I've gone from being the worst waitress in LA to living out my childhood dreams of singing my songs to people all over the world," Ke$ha said in a statement. "Sometimes, it feels as if the last few years have encompassed a few decades. You might have heard my voice on the radio, seen me onstage and on the red carpet, or in a music video, but that's only a part of the story. In these pages, I'm revealing a more complete picture of what my life is really like. It's not all glamorous and it?s not all pretty, but it's all real."
The 25-year-old star is known for such hits as "TiK ToK," ''Your Love Is My Drug," ''We R Who We R" and "Die Young."

Obama seeks cash as Romney expresses confidence
NEWPORT NEWS, Va. (AP) ? President Barack Obama made a cross-country swing for cash and Hispanic support Monday amid signs that Republican rival Mitt Romney is cutting into his lead in some key swing states as the campaign enters its final four weeks.
Romney tried to keep momentum on his side by bolstering his foreign policy credentials and rallying voters in Virginia, one of the most closely fought battlegrounds. "Things are going pretty good," a visibly upbeat Romney said after turning his motorcade around to pose for pictures with children who lined up to wave as he passed their elementary school.
Romney's commanding debate performance last Wednesday appears to have given him a much-needed psychological and polling boost, as large crowds flocked to his rallies over the weekend. Democrats say private surveys taken after the debate show Romney making progress in many key battleground states after Obama built a lead last month, though they say Obama is still ahead in places like Ohio and Virginia.
Paul Maslin, a Democratic pollster based in Madison, Wis., said some of the polling in the lead-up to the debate probably overstated Obama's advantage but Romney's performance has created a much more competitive environment.
"To me, so far it looks like maybe it's been a 4- or 5-point movement. That is not insignificant. That's real and worrisome if it holds," Maslin said.
Romney aides on Monday quietly tempered expectations that tightening national polls would translate into success on the ground in the key states most likely to decide the race. Things may be moving in the right direction, they said, but significant work remained.
More than 30 states allow early voting and there are signs that Romney could have an advantage among ballots already cast in the swing states of North Carolina and Florida. Samples are small this early, but the United States Elections Project at George Mason University reports an advantage of more than 20 percentage points in the number of ballots being cast by registered Republicans over Democrats in the two states. Democrats had a 38-percentage-point lead in Iowa.
Obama finally addressed his poor debate performance at a celebrity fundraiser Sunday in Los Angeles, joking that he doesn't always have the flawless nights the star musicians who performed seem to have. But he declared he had the right focus and "I intend to win."
Obama continued his California visit Monday by declaring a national monument at the Keene home of Latino labor leader Cesar Chavez, the United Farmworkers Union founder who died in 1993. Sure to appeal to some Hispanic voters in swing states, Obama's move came at the start of a day in which he will later raise political cash at events in San Francisco.
The Romney campaign tried to raise money with an email appeal warning that Obama and his allies are on the verge of raising $1 billion to hold onto the White House. "We must not let them succeed ? we are not letting them succeed," wrote Romney campaign manager Matt Rhoades.
The campaigns also were eyeing the next debate Thursday night, the sole faceoff between Vice President Joe Biden and the GOP running mate, Wisconsin Rep. Paul Ryan. Ryan's challenge is to overcome his lack foreign policy expertise or national debate experience against Biden, who has extensive experience on both fronts.
"Believe you me, I understand this man is extremely experienced, he's a gifted speaker, he's a proven debater," Ryan said on The Frank Beckman Show on Detroit radio station WJR. "So we definitely have our work cut out for us. But the problem the vice president has that he just can't get around is he has to try and defend Barack Obama's record and it's not a very good record to defend."
Romney has shifted his message in recent days to emphasize a moderate tone and a compassionate side he has rarely shown in public. Aides said he would continue to press that message while providing clear contrasts with Obama for the narrow slice of undecided voters.
"Hope is not a strategy," Romney said in the address at Virginia Military Institute. He argued Obama's leadership has been especially lacking in the Middle East as chaos continues to grow.
Monday's foreign policy speech, in which Romney repeatedly assailed Obama's leadership on the world stage, was part of that effort. The former Massachusetts governor is expected to deliver at least two more policy speeches in the coming weeks focused on job growth and debt and spending.
The foreign policy speech sent tough signals to Iran and Syria and portrayed Obama as weak over his administration's changing explanation for the deadly attacks on the U.S. Consulate in Libya. He said he would not hesitate to impose new sanctions on Iran to keep it from obtaining a nuclear weapon and promised to help get arms to opposition forces in Syria.
"We cannot support our friends and defeat our enemies in the Middle East when our words are not backed up by deeds," Romney said.
Obama campaign spokeswoman Jen Psaki dismissed the speech and called Romney inexperienced and clumsy on international issues. She and White House spokesman Jay Carney especially singled out Romney's remarks about Iraq, where Romney said the U.S. has failed to influence events because Obama was unable to secure a "responsible and gradual drawdown that would have better secured our gains."
"In what seems simply to be an attempt to draw a distinction with this president, without any policy forethought, Gov. Romney is now saying we should have tens of thousands of troops still in Iraq," Carney said. "This president is happy to debate that issue because he profoundly disagrees."
Voters give Obama higher marks than Romney on questions of national security and crisis response, and world affairs in general are a distant priority compared with economic woes, polling shows.
Beyond the speech, Romney has a Virginia rally scheduled Monday evening, followed by events in Iowa and Ohio later in the week. After the California cash rush, Obama was on to Ohio on Tuesday and was expected to campaign in Florida later in the week. He was then to hunker down over the weekend for another round of preparation for the second debate against Romney on Oct. 16 in New York.
Both candidates were getting help for the final push from outside groups. A pro-Obama super political action committee released a TV ad Monday accusing Romney of seeking to slash education funding and college financial aid. The Priorities USA Action spot says Romney would have to make the cuts in order to keep tax breaks for families making more than $250,000 a year.
The ad will run in Colorado, Florida, Iowa, Virginia and Wisconsin as part of a $30 million campaign the super PAC launched earlier this year.
