Is renters insurance required in Oregon?
Oregon law doesn't require renters insurance. However, your landlord or the company that manages your apartment building, condo, or house may mandate a renters policy before you can move in. Even if you're not required to carry renters insurance, a renters policy is generally affordable. It may cover your belongings against specific perils. Plus, your renters policy may pay for you to live elsewhere if you're unable to stay in your residence while it's being repaired or rebuilt because of a covered loss that has caused it to be unsuitable for habitation.

Check out the four standard coverages on nearly all Oregon renters insurance policies:
- Personal property protects your personal belongings, including furniture, clothing, and electronics.
- Loss of use helps cover costs associated with an increase in living expenses, up to your policy's limit, if you're unable to stay in your home while it's being repaired or rebuilt due to a covered loss.
- Personal liability protects you financially if you're legally responsible for another person's injuries or damage to their property.
