My landlord is requesting that his name be added onto the policy. What\u2019s the best way to add an interested party to renter\u2019s insurance with State Farm?<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>Answer:<\/strong> Landlords commonly ask to be added to tenants\u2019 renter\u2019s insurance policies as an interested party. The process is simple. You can add an interested party to your State Farm renter\u2019s insurance by calling your agent.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>When you contact <a href=\"\/reviews\/car-insurance\/state-farm\/\">State Farm<\/a>, be sure you have your landlord\u2019s information handy, including their:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li>First and last name<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Mailing address<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Email<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Phone number<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n<p>You may also be able to add an interested party to your policy through your online account, without calling your agent.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Once your landlord is an interested party on your policy, the insurance provider will notify them if you make any changes to your renter\u2019s insurance coverage, renew your policy or let it lapse. An interested party won\u2019t, however, be able to change your coverage or file claims on your behalf.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>An interested party can also be referred to as an \u201cadditional interest,\u201d but don\u2019t confuse these terms with an \u201cadditional insured.\u201d An interested party doesn\u2019t receive coverage from your policy, just updates. But an additional insured has access to coverage and can file claims. Adding your landlord as an additional insured is not advisable in a tenant-landlord agreement. Many insurance companies won\u2019t even allow it.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"What-is-renter\u2019s-insurance?\">What is renter\u2019s insurance?<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>Renter\u2019s insurance pays for you to replace personal belongings\u2014like your furniture, electronics, and clothing\u2014in the event of a catastrophe or theft. A qualifying accident could be water damage from a leak, a fire, or strong wind. Exact coverage depends on the policy you purchase.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Landlords often require renter\u2019s insurance as part of a lease agreement. But it\u2019s in your best interest to buy a renter\u2019s insurance policy even if you\u2019re not required to do so. Without it, replacing many of your belongings at once could cost thousands of dollars.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Renter\u2019s insurance could also cover you for loss of use. For example, if your apartment caught fire and was no longer habitable, you might need a place to stay while repairs are made. Loss of use coverage could pay for a hotel stay or relocation costs.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>It\u2019s a good idea to take an inventory\u2014with photos\u2014of all your personal belongings that are insured under your renter\u2019s insurance policy. This documentation will help in the event you need to file a claim.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-jerry-meet-experts\" data-wp-interactive=\"jerry\/meet-experts\" data-wp-context=\"{&quot;modalVisible&quot;:false}\">\n  <div class=\"font-circular text-2xl font-extrabold text-slate-900\">Expert-driven.
