You can file a renters insurance claim without receipts, but moving forward you should keep an up-to-date inventory of your personal belongings with photos and get an appraisal for big-ticket items.

If you reach out to your insurance company, they will let you know what all would be covered under your policy and if you would be reimbursed actual cash value or replacement cost for property lost. Good luck.
