Not only does it allow you to easily insure your home, but it would weed out undesirables. If an insurance company won't insure a renter because of too many fires, floods, or riff-raff making off with the silverware; then why would you want them? > That's the truth!

He can barely afford the bare necessities. But he doesn't mess with my stuff. Keep in mind we are each paying $500 where average rent now over $2000. |

Keep in mind we are each paying $500 where average rent now over $2000. What do you mean 'extra work a few times a month'? If he can't afford to pay his renters insurance then he'll start having excuses of why he can't pay his portion of the rent. Maybe he needs to live in a homeless shelter if he's that strapped for cash. "According to the Independent Insurance Agents & Brokers of America, the average cost of renters insurance is $12 per month for $30,000 of property coverage and $100,000 of liability coverage. Additional coverage options may be available for an additional expense depending on the insurance provider." |

We used to own a small apartment building. One evening there was a fire (caused by a cigarette dropped in a couch by a tenant's boyfriend, it finally came out) that gutted one unit and caused smoke and water damage on the rest. Fortunately no one was hurt. Our landlord policy covered the damage to the building but, of course, did not cover any damage to the tenant's possessions or provide money for their accomodations while the building was repaired. We refunded everyone's paid rent for the month and also paid for storage units for tenant's stuff while the repairs were made, but that was all we could manage. Our insurance agent told us that they could have purchased renter's insurance to cover their losses and expenses for about $15/month, but no one had any insurance. Of course, these were the same people (all single mothers on section 8) who complained that they couldn't afford milk for their kids, but always seemed to have enough of money for beer, cigarettes and cable TV. Once all the repairs were made and everything was cleaned, shiny and new, we decided it was a good time to sell. Never regretted it.

| wilma6116@gmail.com: Aug 01 04:11PM -0700 I make that same instant judgement all the time- if you ain't got $0.40/day, you ain't getting the keys to my stuff. |

Whatever with the rent is between him and the landlord. I can't make him pay any additional bills and don't want him freeloading on my policy. |

I'm making my judgement on what Beaver has told us. Someone who apparently is strapped for cash on a regular basis. If he's this broke regularly, how is he expected to make his part of the monthly rent if he lives on less than a shoestring budget? |

Whatever with the rent is between him and the landlord. I can't make him pay any additional bills and don't want him freeloading on my policy. Has he ever gone out and actively searched for a job that has steady pay or is he hoping to be 'discovered'? If whatever 'the rent is between him and the landlord' and he doesn't pay his share, you'll BOTH be at the homeless shelter. |

We both the pay the landlord individually. I am happy to pay half, if he hits the skids I will pay everything if I have to. |

It's a mystery to me too but I am in much better financial shape than when I moved into this mess. However it would not be advantageous to move out at this time. He's lived here over 20 years under the same circumstances. |
