renters insurance

LA Lux requires a minimum liability coverage of $100k in addition to coverage for your personal items. If you’re not part of our Resident Benefits Package, we’ve partnered with Toggle to provide our residents with comprehensive and affordable renters insurance.

We’ve gathered our top 5 reasons why renters insurance is necessary for our residents:

1. Personal Property Protection: It covers your belongings, such as furniture, electronics, and clothing, in case of theft, fire, or other covered events. Without it, you'd have to bear the cost of replacing these items out of pocket.

2. Liability Coverage: If someone is injured in your rental unit, renters insurance can help cover legal fees and medical costs, protecting you from financial loss.

3. Additional Living Expenses: If your rental becomes uninhabitable due to a covered incident (like a fire), renters insurance can cover temporary living expenses, such as hotel bills and meals.

4. Affordable Premiums: Renters insurance is affordable, making it a cost-effective way to protect your assets and finances.

5. Peace of Mind: Having renters insurance provides peace of mind, knowing that you're financially protected against unexpected events.
