Housing Hype – Renter’s Insurance

WHAT IS RENTER’S INSURANCE?

A renter’s insurance policy can help protect you and your belongings from unforeseen expenses resulting from fire, smoke, water damage, windstorms, lightning, theft and/or vandalism. Military family housing and off-base residents are strongly encouraged to carry dwellers renter’s liability insurance.

WHY SHOULD I HAVE IT?

Even if you don’t think your property is of any value and in the event of an accident, having renter’s insurance could be a “eureka” moment for you and your loved ones. If you damage your home due to negligence, you may be responsible for repairs.

HOW DO I GET IT?

If you don’t have insurance for your residence, the KMC Housing Office suggests that you immediately contact an insurance company to discuss the different available coverages. Always keep in mind that, “by having renters’ insurance you’ll always have peace of mind” so, don’t become a statistic, get your renter’s insurance now!”

Upcoming Office Closures:

The KMC Housing Office and the Furnishings Management Section will be closed on May 1 due to a legal German Holiday and on May 3 due to an organizational function.
