Tenant Contents Insurance





It was extremely sad to hear, and read, about the big fire at the Fontanelle condominiums in Wenatchee over the week-end.

According to the article in the Wenatchee World, 6 condos were totally lost and eleven more were evacuated. Monetary damage estimates are up to $2million.

Although, one can never replace certain family treasures, it is a good time to remember to carry adequate contents insurance. This is true for homeowners, tenants and investors.

A reminder to tenants: Do you have contents insurance on your personal belongings? Your landlord has insurance on the structure but not YOUR personal belongings. The cost isn't as much as you might think... probably about $15 per month for $30,000 of coverage.

Also, if you have irreplaceable family treasures (pictures in particular), I suggest you get copies put on a CD and put them in a safe place such as a safe deposit box. I had ALL of my old family pictures put on CD and they have been safely tucked in our Safe Deposit Box at a bank for several years.

My sincere sympathies to all the families affected by the recent fire. By the grace of the Good Lord, no-one was hurt.

Sincerely,
