Renters Insurance Endorsements
Insure Your Valuables
Your standard NJM Renters Insurance policy will insure the personal property at your place. But what if you want to add more coverage for jewelry, silverware, furs, or computer equipment? You may even want insurance for credit card and identity fraud. What you need are endorsements. An endorsement can either increase the dollar limit of coverage for certain items or extend coverage to items not included in your standard renters insurance policy.

Personal Property Increased Special Limits of Liability

Identity Fraud Expense Coverage
Provides reimbursement up to $15,000 for expenses incurred as a result of identity fraud.
Other Members of Your Household
Extends personal property and liability coverage to other members of your household. Although your policy provides coverage for the personal belongings owned by you and your family members who live with you, this endorsement provides coverage to protect the property owned by other household residents who are not relatives or tenants.
Limited Fungi, Wet or Dry Rot, or Bacteria
Provides additional coverage in the event of a covered loss for the cost to remove fungi from your personal property.
Water Back-up and Sump Discharge or Overflow
This endorsement provides coverage for damage to your personal property caused by water or waterborne material which backs up through your sump pump or overflows or is discharged from a sump or related equipment. It does not cover the sump pump itself.
Earthquake (MD, NJ, OH, and PA Only)
While earthquakes are rare for this part of the United States, the possibility always exists. Damage caused by earthquakes is not covered under a renters policy. Coverage can provide protection for damage to your personal belongings caused by an earthquake.
Assisted Living Care Coverage
Provides personal property and personal liability coverage to a named relative residing in an assisted living facility.
Increased Amount of Insurance for Personal Property Located in a Self Storage Facility
An NJM Renters policy automatically provides coverage for your personal property in a self-storage facility (up to 10% of your personal property limit or $1,000, whichever is greater). This endorsement increases that limit.
To add an endorsement, give us a call at 1-800-232-6600.
