While not always legally required, many landlords require it in lease agreements. Renters insurance protects your belongings and provides liability coverage.
Location (crime & weather risk), coverage limits, deductible, credit, and claims history all factor into your premium.

Many policies can be bound same-day once you choose coverage and provide basic info.
