Renters insurance is not a legal mandate in the state of North Carolina, but it will often be a requirement imposed by your landlord. This is because their insurance does not cover you in a situation where the contents of your abode are destroyed or in need of repair.
Why Renters Insurance?
Renters insurance helps with disputes between property owners and their tenants because it provides a ready solution to disagreements. Renters can file a claim with their insurance company, thus reducing the amount of litigation between parties and accompanying legal fees.
In the event that you need to temporarily relocate, renters insurance can help you with the necessary expenses. Environmental hazards, fire, and water damage can sometimes cause you to vacate the premises until your living quarters can be properly cleaned.
Renters often have guests over, leading to liability issues when a person is injured due to slips and falls. You can be held negligent for their medical bills and lost wages, and you may also be the target of a lawsuit.

Your possessions can be destroyed, for example, if your building catches fire, and renters insurance should cover your belongings.
