Apartment Insurance

My dog knocked over my halogen floor lamp and my apartment and four other units were severely damaged from the fire that resulted. I was sued by the apartments and the four other residents and a judgment for $239,000 was recorded in Harris county court against me because I was responsible for my apartment.

I was cheap and stupid because I didn't want to pay $13 per month for coverage. Now my life is ruined and my wages will be garnished 20% per month until the judgment is paid. At my current wage I will be paying $400 monthly for 598 months. Get renters Insurance or get SUED.

That's the consequence if something in your apartment causes a fire. How would you like to make restitution payments for LIFE? It can happen to YOU and it happens every day.

According to the National Fire protection Association, in 2005 a residential fire occurs every 80 seconds in America. Over 3000 civilians died in these fires and nationwide, there was a fire death every 143 minutes and fire related injuries every 29 minutes. There was over 6.8 billion in damages to residential property. There is a huge amount of liability if something in your home caused a fire whether you were negligent or not. Fires can start from things beyond your control like Appliance fires, pets, and children.

Rates will vary somewhat in different venues, age of apartment construction, type of apartment construction, etc. There are many renter insurance company providers and I would shop around a bit but you can get an online insurance quote for starters. It's not worth being cheap or stupid. You will sleep better at night.
