Compare Renters Insurance for Molina Apartments & Multi-Family Homes
Molina is a community in western Colorado—many residents rent in this rural area. Leases often require proof of renters insurance. We’ll size Replacement Cost for your belongings, add personal liability and loss of use (ALE), and handle landlord certificate wording.
Why Molina 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: Molina leases may require proof of renters insurance. In Colorado, landlords must comply with state housing codes, including habitability standards—good to know when renting.
What Your Molina 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 (available 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 Molina 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).

Renters Insurance FAQ — Molina, CO
Is renters insurance required in Colorado or Molina?
It’s not required by state law, but many Molina landlords make it a lease requirement. We’ll issue your proof of insurance and add your landlord/property manager as an Additional Interest.
What does a renters (HO-4) policy cover?
Four core parts: Personal Property (your belongings), Personal Liability (injury/property damage you cause), Medical Payments to Others, and Loss of Use (ALE) for temporary living expenses after a covered loss. Flood and earthquake are excluded unless added separately.
Replacement Cost vs. Actual Cash Value—what’s the difference?
Replacement Cost (RC) pays today’s price to replace items with new equivalents; ACV subtracts depreciation. Most Molina renters choose RC because electronics, furniture, and clothing depreciate quickly.
How much Personal Property coverage do I need?
Build a quick inventory (rooms, closets, electronics, small appliances, wardrobe, sports/hobby gear). Add up replacement values and round up for new purchases. We can share a one-page spreadsheet and right-size your limit from there.
What liability limit should I carry?
$300k–$500k is common. If you host often or want extra cushion, add a for $1M–$10M of additional protection.
