Do you have renter’s insurance? Not required but building strongly recommended it.

Yes. Super cheap to get and very worth it. I use lemonade insurance

I pay 15 bucks per month. In one instance, a friend had a faulty alarm clock and it only affected his apartment. It was 8 years ago and his life is still not back to normal.

Yes. Get lemonade - super cheap and totally worth it. I’ve had friends who couldn’t be in their apt because another unit caught fire. So many things out of your control can happen it’s so worth it.

Fwiw lemonade just quoted me $8/mo more than State Farm

Yes, I have it because it’s required for us. But also just good to have for peace of mind, it also covers damage you may cause to other properties. (I.e. my bf and I accidentally caused some damage at an Airbnb, and insurance covered everything—I didn’t know about this until it happened 🙃)

It’s part of our coverage that they’ll cover damage at another property—you’re not applying for insurance at another apartment. We booked the Airbnb under our name so we were covered

Get it. I lost an iPhone in an Uber and insurance covered it. I use lemonade.

How much was the deductible ?

Not required, still have it!

thanks everyone ! For those that have it, do you live in amenity doorman buildings? Feel like the risk of theft or hazardous damage is much lower in doorman building than a walk up.

It was a condo building, so the landlord was the individual owner. The owner did give a break when asked, but only proportional rent. I don’t know if that would be required by law, but either way, it wouldn’t cover staying in a hotel. Luckily my SO could stay with me. Hotels in NY are way more expensive per night than apartment rent.

I have State Farm. I pay $11/mo. Definitely worth it, I’ve lived in doorman and walk up buildings. I worry about pipes bursting or pest infestations.

FWIW Lemonade quoted me $19/mo for the same thing.

For those that have it, how much personal property coverage did you opt for? Wonder if 20k is enough for most people.

I do the lowest one available

That’s a HUGE red flag that there have been thefts or burglary there

All they said was the renters Insurance is highly recommended because in large buildings like ours with many apartments something could go wrong in or around your apartment. Example was a washer and dryer leaking from unit above.

Nothing about thefts or burglary.

My partner and I bought our home back in 2020. We got a good deal, low rate. But we want to move into a more spacious SFH. However, as we all know this market is crazy. Everything we want costs $620k+ and bc of rates it makes our mortgage estimates $3500+. We are currently paying $2k. And it looks we need to sell the house simultaneously as look for a new one or our contingency isn’t as attractive. I know it’s based on personal circumstances. But what would you do? - not move, sell and buy?
