In New Mexico and Arizona, a renters insurance policy is a good idea to have to help cover incidentals. Here’s what you need to know about renters insurance in both these states, and how J.B. Martin Insurance Agency can help.
Is Renters Insurance a Requirement?
No. Renters insurance is not a requirement in Arizona or New Mexico, but it’s a good type of insurance to have because it helps cover the cost of incidental damages, such as theft, water backup damage, and specific natural disasters. Although your landlord may have insurance coverage for their property, you will want to have a policy of your own to cover the instances your landlord’s policy does not.

When you have an active renters insurance policy, you will have coverage for your belongings for instances that include:
- Smoke damage
- Fire
- Theft
- Vandalism
- Windstorm
- Water damage
- Guest injuries
