Why Lyons Renters Need HO-4 Coverage

Your landlord’s policy won’t cover your belongings or your liability. The building is insured by the owner; your **renters policy** protects your property, your personal liability, and provides a buffer for temporary housing if a covered loss forces you out. The NAIC’s consumer guidance is clear on this point.

Local reality: Lyons leases often require proof of renters insurance and a named landlord/manager. The area also emphasizes compliance with Boulder County rental regulations—good to know when renting.

What Your Lyons Renters Policy Can Include

Personal Property (Contents)

  • Replacement Cost on belongings (vs ACV depreciation)
  • Electronics, furniture, clothing—on and (within limits) off-premises
  • Scheduled items for jewelry, fine arts, collectibles

Standard perils include fire/smoke, theft, vandalism, windstorm, and sudden water damage (not flood).

Personal Liability & MedPay

  • $300k–$500k typical; higher limits available
  • Medical payments to others regardless of fault (limit varies)
  • Add a Personal Umbrella for $1M–$10M extra protection

Loss of Use (ALE)

  • Hotel/rental & extra costs if a covered loss makes your home uninhabitable
  • Critical after fires, burst pipes, or neighbor overflows

ALE follows the HO-4’s covered perils—not civil/lease disputes.

Popular Add-Ons

  • Water Backup (sump/sewer backup) for your contents
  • Identity Theft expense
  • Earthquake (possible in CO via endorsement/standalone)
  • Equipment Breakdown for covered home systems (varies by carrier)

Basement Apartments & Flood: What to Know

Standard renters policies **exclude flood**. If your apartment is at/below grade—common in some Lyons areas—check your address on FEMA’s Flood Map Service Center and Colorado’s flood tools. If risk is present, we’ll quote **contents-only flood insurance** (NFIP or private).

Tip: Keep photos and a quick home inventory (serial numbers + receipts). It speeds claims and helps right-size your contents limit.
