Me and three roommates need renter's insurance. To save money and paperwork, we want a company that's willing to insure all four of us under one policy. State Farm won't do this - they want us to buy four seperate policies. Are there any insurance companies out there that will cover all of us with one policy? |

Renter's insurance and other homeowners insurance policies are designed for single individuals and traditional families. So when unrelated individuals share a residence, insurance coverage can become complicated. However, some insurance companies will allow multiple roommates to be listed on a single renters insurance policy. Insurance laws on this topic vary from state to state, and insurance policies vary from one company to the next. However, most insurance companies recommend that each tenant maintain a separate renters insurance policy to cover his or her personal property. You should each create an inventory of your possessions, so there are no questions about which policy covers which items if you ever have to file a claim. Having said that , Farmers insurance and Allstate both have a multiple renters insurance but they are not cheap - search term used I called my agent |

The best place to look is with the insurance companies you already have covering you; example (car, boat, motorcycle) insurance. Most insurance companies will give a discont of 10-20% on your other premium which will make your renter's insurance seem like it's free. |

If all four of you are on the same policy, and a claim is ever filed, it will adversely affect all of you and make it more difficult for any of you to obtain coverage in the future (past claim = higher risk). The best thing is for each of you to get separate policies, and as a previous poster said, you may qualify for a multi-policy discount which effectively makes the renters insurance free (mine actually lowers my car insurance so much that I actually SAVE money every month!). |
