Georgia renters insurance FAQs

Is renters insurance required in Georgia?

No, there’s no federal or state law requiring you to get renters insurance, but it is required by law that you comply with your lease. So, if those terms include having renters insurance, you need to make sure you’re covered.

Most landlords and property managers require you to provide proof of your renters insurance policy before you sign your lease. Sometimes, they’ll also ask for proof of insurance each time you renew your lease. Your landlord may even require you to list them on your policy as an interested party so that they’ll be notified if you cancel your policy.

Can I insure high-value items like jewelry or art?

Yes! Lemonade’s Extra Coverage provides enhanced protection (and zero-deductible claims!) for high-value items—like jewelry, cameras, bicycles, or art worth $350 or more. You’ll also be covered for accidental damage or mysterious loss, which a standard renters policy won’t cover.

Is my outdoor recreation equipment covered under Georgia renters insurance?

Yes! Your hiking gear, camping equipment, and outdoor recreation items are covered under your personal property coverage. So whether someone steals your tent from your car,  or a storm damages your kayak, you’re covered.

However, expensive items like high-end camping gear might hit coverage limits. If you have thousands of dollars worth of outdoor equipment, consider adding Extra Coverage.

Are tornadoes covered under renters insurance in Georgia?

Yes, tornado damage is covered under Georgia renters insurance, including Lemonade policies. Your personal belongings and additional living expenses are protected if a tornado makes your rental uninhabitable due to damage or evacuation .

Does Georgia renters insurance cover hurricane damage to my belongings?

Yes, hurricane wind damage to your belongings is covered under Georgia renters insurance. However, consider separate flood insurance through National Flood Insurance Program (NFIP) for flood damage from hurricane storm surge, which we recommend for Georgia’s coastal areas and low-lying regions.
