Colorado renters insurance FAQs

Is renters insurance required in Colorado?

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 winter sports equipment covered under Colorado renters insurance?

Yes! Your skiing and snowboarding equipment is covered under your personal property coverage. So whether someone snatches your gear from your car while you’re shredding in Vail, a pipe bursts in your Aspen Airbnb and soaks your equipment, or thieves steal your skis from your hotel room while skiing abroad, you’re covered.

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

Are wildfires covered under renters insurance in Colorado?

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

This coverage is especially important for Colorado renters. As of August 2025, five active wildfires across western Colorado have already burned over 150,000 acres, roughly 234 square miles, with mandatory evacuations affecting multiple counties including Rio Blanco, Garfield, Routt, and Dolores.

Does Colorado renters insurance cover hail damage to my belongings?

Yes, hail damage is covered under your Colorado renters insurance policy. Whether a severe hailstorm shatters your windows and damages your furniture, or hail breaks through your roof and ruins your electronics, your personal property coverage protects you.

This coverage is crucial for Colorado renters, as Colorado leads the nation in hail frequency, with hail season running from April through September. The devastating May 8, 2017 Denver hailstorm alone caused an estimated $2.3 billion in damage, making it the state’s most expensive catastrophe in history.
