Question
A tenant with this insurance policy suffers a substantial loss due to lightning strike and an apartment fire that erupts as a result of that storm. The tenant should take each of the following steps as soon as possible EXCEPT…*1 pointCall the insurance company and report the loss and damagesSign up for additional renters insurance, as this coverage has now been “used up” and will expireDivide property into “damaged” and “undamaged” categories and submit a thorough list of everything “damaged”Provide receipts, when available, for damaged items, costs associated with living elsewhere, and costs of doing any self-repair on the rental property
Solution
The tenant should not "Sign up for additional renters insurance, as this coverage has now been “used up” and will expire". This is incorrect because insurance policies, including renters insurance, do not "expire" after a claim is made. The coverage continues until the end of the policy period.
