Who Needs Renters Insurance?
Renters insurance is not required by law in Pennsylvania, but your landlord’s insurance won’t cover your stuff. That means you need coverage for your belongings and injuries suffered by guests in your unit. An NJM Renters Insurance policy insures your personal property and personal liability.
Average payout of a renters insurance claim: $6,563§
Sudden discharge from a burst pipe
$3,204§
Burglary or theft
$3,799§
Lost property*
$4,718§
What Can Renters Insurance Cover?
A renters insurance policy can cover your personal property, personal liability, and medical payments to others. NJM will work with you to create a custom policy.
Experience a fire?
No problem. We've got your back if you need to repair or replace your personal belongings.
Friend injured while visiting your apartment?
We'll pay the medical bills up to your coverage limits.
