Anyone with renters insurance

[Dre]

I'm thinking about getting renters insurance just in case one of my fish tanks brake or leak and cause damage to the apartments below mine.Anyone have any information on whats the best kind of insurance to have for an apartment with fish tanks.Thank you for your help.

progressive has renter insurance and seem to be reasonably priced, they also cover in case the fish tank breaks. Most insurance companies wont.

Ask the insurance for a "rider" for the tanks. As crxin stated, most do not cover damage caused by your tanks.

I use State Farm. Go over the policy carefully before signing on. Most insurance companies not only will not cover fish tank caused damage, but any damage caused by you. For instance, if you flood your house by leaving the sink on and clogging the drain, and they can prove it, they will not cover that damage.

when i called progressive i asked about my tank, and they assured me I would be covered. They said unless you forcefully tip it over you are covered, they consider it accidental if something happens.
