Property Insurance: Coverage Explained for Homeowners and Renters

Property insurance covers financial protection for property owners and renters against damage, theft, and liability claims. It includes homeowners, renters, flood, and earthquake insurance. Policies typically cover damage from fire, weather, vandalism, and theft but exclude floods, earthquakes, mold, and wear-and-tear. Coverage types include replacement cost, actual cash value, and extended replacement cost. Mortgage lenders often require property insurance.
