πŸ’ Cash, Jewelry, Collectibles & Other Special Limits

Your tenant insurance includes coverage for personal belongings, but some categories of property have special limits.


A special limit is the maximum amount payable for all items in a category combined during a single covered loss, even if your overall contents coverage limit is higher.


For example, if you have $15,000 in contents coverage, the special limit for stolen jewelry is still $1,000.


πŸ’΅ Cash & Money


Coverage is limited to:


  • Cash
  • Bank notes
  • Coins
  • Bullion
  • Gold (other than goldware)
  • Silver (other than silverware)
  • Platinum
  • Medals


Maximum coverage: $200 per covered loss


Example: If $500 in cash and collectible coins are stolen during a break-in, the most payable under this category would be $200 total, not $200 for each item minus the $500 deductible.


πŸ’ Jewelry, Watches & Furs


Coverage is limited to:


  • Jewelry
  • Watches
  • Furs
  • Precious and semi-precious stones


Maximum coverage: $1,000 total per covered theft loss


Example: If three rings, a watch, and a necklace are stolen and their combined value is $4,000, the most payable under this category would be $1,000 total minus the $500 deductible.


πŸ”« Firearms


Coverage is limited to:


  • Firearms
  • Related equipment and accessories


Maximum coverage: $2,000 total per covered theft loss


If multiple firearms are stolen during the same incident, the most payable under this category is $2,000 total minus the $500 deductible.

  • Silverware
  • Silver-plated ware
  • Goldware
  • Gold-plated ware

πŸ“± Electronics Stolen From a Vehicle


Certain electronic devices designed to operate from a vehicle's electrical system are covered up to $1,000 per covered loss while in or on a vehicle.


This limit also applies to related accessories and media.


🌎 Property Away From Home


Personal property is primarily covered while at the insured location.


If covered property is away from the insured location when a covered loss occurs, coverage is limited to $1,000 total per covered loss (minus the $500 deductible), subject to the policy terms and conditions.


🚫 Items Not Covered


The policy does not provide coverage for certain types of property, including:


  • Animals, birds, or fish
  • Motor vehicles
  • Aircraft
  • Watercraft
  • Credit cards
  • Business records and data
  • Passports
  • Property belonging to tenants, boarders, or roommates who are not insured under the policy
