What does Lemonade renters insurance cover in Arizona?
Okay, if you’ve done your research or talked to friends then you probably have an inkling that renters insurance is a great hedge against life’s uncertainties. But you might not have a great handle on what policies actually cover…
No sweat! It’s all easier than you might think.
Renters insurance will be helpful in many circumstances. Here are a few.
Personal Property
‘Personal property’ coverage protects your stuff, even if you’re out of your apartment or traveling. It includes things like theft, as well as damage from a variety of named perils.
Loss of Use
Let’s say you’re forced to vacate your pad due to covered losses (like a fire or windstorm). That’s rough, but thankfully ‘loss of use’ coverage provides reimbursements for a temporary place to stay. It should also kick in for additional living expenses such as food, laundry, hotel parking, and more.
Liability protection
Okay, so you’re visiting your friend’s chic new Phoenix loft for drinks. After one mimosa too many, you trip and fall over a Noguchi coffee table, which breaks. Awkward! If anyone on your policy causes damage to someone else’s property or stuff your insurer should have you covered.
Medical protection
If you’re having a get-together at your Scottsdale duplex, and a guest takes a tumble down your spiral staircase, another component of your policy will be a real lifeline. Your insurer covers medical costs if your guests get injured at your place, or if you accidentally hurt people outside of your home as well. But here’s a big thing to keep in mind: Renters insurance does not cover medical costs if you or someone residing with you are injured—only non-residents and people visiting.
Tailor your coverage
There’s no one-size-fits all formula for coverage amounts. Make an honest accounting of the value of your stuff, to start. Your landlord also might require you to have a certain amount of personal liability coverage. Don’t worry, changing your coverage options isn’t tough with Lemonade’s Live Policy.

Is renters insurance required in Arizona?
While there’s no legal requirement to carry renters insurance, a lot of landlords will demand that you have it… and you are required to abide by the terms of your lease. So in those cases, you would have to get insurance.
In order to demonstrate that you actually signed up, most landlords and property managers require you to provide proof of your policy before you sign your lease. Sometimes, they’ll also ask for proof of insurance each time you renew your lease.
Why? Usually, landlords want to make sure you have enough personal liability coverage within your renters policy. They might also check to make sure you have enough personal property coverage for your stuff.
So that they’re kept in the loop, your landlord can ask to be made an interested party, so they’ll be notified if you abandon your policy. That way, they can make sure you don’t cancel your policy right after you provide proof that you have one. Nice try!
What’s the right amount of coverage?
The coverage amounts you choose for each category are up to you—tailor them according to what you need.
- You should choose your personal property coverage amount based on the value of the stuff you own, and how much it would cost to replace it.
- What about setting your ‘loss of use’ coverage? Consider all of the expenses you could rack up beyond your normal daily budget (such as a place to stay, food, laundry, your commute, etc) if your home becomes unlivable for an extended period of time.
