My house was robbed not two months after we moved in. No renters insurance. They stole ALL of my jewelry– mostly inherited pieces and real good quality gifts from my grandfather who traded jewelry as one of his many hustles.

She then went on a weeklong cruise. As usual, her daughter stayed with us and we had keys to her place. Maintenance was working on a clogged toilet next door (her toilet was on the other side of the wall). In their zeal to push through, they cracked her…her place was flooded for at least a day before we went to get clothes for her daughter. Long story short, she had insurance and all her reciepts for what she just spent in the last 45 days. Covered it all! Plus, the management office gave her 3 months rent free. That was my lesson. It’s extremely affordable! Get it.

I keep thinking about how we should go ahead and do that…and now you’re telling me. I guess it’s time.

Long story short: The roofers set the roof on fire, which burned a hole in directly above our bedroom. We were home at the time and there was literally only 2 minutes between us seeing smoke, hearing a cry of, “Throw your Slurpy on it!” and then the house was filled with smoke. :(

We didn’t have renters insurance at the time and lost quite a bit due to smoke and water damage. We were extremely lucky though – the building management was top-notch and they set us up in a hotel for 2 months and replaced our desk, computer monitor, bed and mattress.

We were lucky! – But now we have insurance, just in case…
