Renters Insurance in Massachusetts
Covers your belongings and your liability in a unit you do not own. Your landlord's policy covers the building, not your things.
What is different in Massachusetts
Massachusetts has the lowest property damage liability minimum in the country at $5,000 — a limit that will not cover a single late-model vehicle, which makes the standard recommendation gap unusually wide here. On the property side the FAIR Plan is a mainstream wind market on Cape Cod, the Islands and the South Coast rather than a marginal one.
