If a fire makes your apartment unlivable, you may not have to keep paying rent, and in some states you can end your lease. Your landlord repairs the building. Renters insurance covers your stuff and a temporary place to stay. Your rights after a fire: goodcover.com/blog/your-righ…
How much renters insurance do you need? Start with the size of your home:
Studio: $15,000
1 bedroom: $20,000
2 bedrooms: $30,000
3+ bedrooms: $40,000
Then adjust for what you actually own. Liability is a separate number. Check your lease for it.

Moving out? Your landlord can keep part of your deposit for unpaid rent or real damage, but not for normal wear and tear like small nail holes or worn carpet. Most states also require an itemized list of deductions. How to push back on unfair charges: goodcover.com/blog/security-…
Quick fact for Pennsylvania renters: there's no cap on how much your landlord can raise rent, not even in Philly or Pittsburgh. There are rules on notice and timing, though, and that's where you can push back. Here's how to tell if an increase is legal:

"Delivered." Then an empty doorstep. 📦
Renters insurance often covers stolen packages. Start with the seller and carrier, document everything, and check whether the loss beats your deductible.

Delivery says “delivered.” Doorstep says otherwise.
Usually renters insurance can cover a stolen package — but start with the seller/carrier, and weigh the loss against your deductible before you claim.

Get renters insurance. If something goes wrong, the landlord gets their place rebuilt, you lose all your stuff. Renters insurance helps you big time.
Important reporting from Abha Bhattarai on how the high cost of rent is contributing to U.S. homelessness.
On A1 today: They are plumbers and casino supervisors, pizzeria managers and factory workers. They deliver groceries, sell eyeglasses and unload trucks at Amazon.
And they’re among the country's hidden homeless: People with jobs who can’t afford rent.

A huge win for tenants that will save lives! Nearly 50K eviction cases were filed in LA last year and fewer than 10% of tenants have lawyers. Meanwhile nearly every landlord has an attorney. Remarkable work led by @SAJE_ShiftPower & @KeepLAHoused Coalition

After a 6000-mile journey, Hurricane #Beryl is no more.
However, after leaving a trail of destruction across the Caribbean and the United States, the storm's toll is becoming clearer.

Gas grills cause roughly 5,700 fires on residential properties each year.
Don't let your holiday weekend get cooked. Place your grill at least 10 ft. away from anything flammable to practice summer safety. Never leave a grill unattended while it's lit.

The heatwave in CA is no joke. 🥵
Increased electricity use can cause power surges. Wildfires are also a risk. Make sure you have emergency plans in place and that your insurance is up-to-date.
Also, check on friends and neighbors, especially the elderly and those without AC.💙
The most severe heat wave since at least 2022 in California, and the National Weather Service is warning of life-threatening temperatures. Temperatures are expected to soar to 115 degrees in the Central Valley starting Wednesday. sfchronicle.com/weather/arti…

The Supreme Court ruling on homelessness “does nothing to make communities confront their role in causing a housing shortage, and it upholds their ability to inflict pain upon that shortage’s victims,” @JerusalemDemsas writes. theatlantic.com/ideas/archiv…
