What your policy can cover
A typical Globe tenant policy combines personal property (furniture, electronics, clothing, bikes), personal liability, loss of use, and medical payments to others. Replacement cost on belongings is usually worth the small extra premium.
Personal liability is often the most valuable piece. If a guest slips on your stairs or your overflowing tub damages the unit below, liability coverage helps pay damages and legal defense.
Jewelry, watches, firearms, and collectibles may have lower theft limits. Scheduling high-value items raises those limits and often broadens coverage.
Lease requirements in Globe
