My child is going off to college. Does he need tenant insurance?
College students living away from home are normally covered under their parents’ or guardians’ homeowners policies. A parent’s homeowners policy will usually cover a dependent’s personal property for up to 10% of the policy’s personal limit. For example, if the parent’s insurance policy has a personal property limit of $100,000, their dependents automatically have $10,000 in coverage while living away from home. They are also covered up to 100% of the liability.
