-Frequent Myths
+Common Misunderstandings

+– "I don’t need it because I live in a safe neighborhood." Safety lowers risk but doesn’t erase it. Even in calm locales, fires, theft, or accidental damage can happen.
 – "The landlord’s insurance covers my belongings." That policy only covers the structure, not your personal items. A landlord’s policy has a separate liability limit and may not.
-– "I can just buy a single policy for all my valuables." Bundling (renters, auto, umbrella) may cut costs, yet a separate renters’ policy remains essential for the unique risks of residing elsewhere.
+– "I can just buy a single policy for all my valuables." Combining policies (renters, auto, umbrella) can save, but you still need a dedicated renters’ policy to cover the specific risks of living in another's building.
