South Carolina renters insurance

Whether you rent a high-rise apartment in Charleston, or rent a house in Columbia, you could have renters insurance in South Carolina with Liberty Mutual for as little as $5 a month.¹

Not necessarily. While it's not required by the state, some landlords and property management companies require proof of rental insurance from tenants. When you buy renters insurance with Liberty Mutual, we'll help make sure you have the right documents to show proof of coverage.

Just like any other state, if you live in South Carolina, renters insurance protects your personal belongings from things like fire and smoke, vandalism and theft, and some natural disasters too.

It also protects you financially if a visitor to your home gets injured and takes legal action.

Let's look at some real-life examples:

• A plumbing leak ruins your furniture and rugs in your Charleston apartment, renters insurance could help cover replacements.
• An electrical fire in your Columbia rental house destroys your belongings and forces you to find temporary lodging, renters insurance could help pay for hotel expenses and lost items.
• A break-in results in stolen electronics and jewelry from your North Charleston apartment, renters insurance could help reimburse you for the loss.

The coverages below come standard with our renters insurance policies:

• Personal Property Coverage
