I live with my boyfriend and he has renter's insurance. he pays for the insurance. he pays the rent.
i don't think it would be fair to ask him to pay more insurance money to cover my stuff - but i have a decent amount and would like to have it covered. (we had a leaky roof issue last year, and while i've moved stuff from the danger zone, it would be nice to know that i could replace my machines if they were ruined.)
so, can i get renter's insurance if my name's not on the lease?
It would be worth a phone call to ask if you have to be on a lease. I would hate to see anyone loose their stash, and not be able to replace it.
