RECENT QUESTIONS

If you don't have a receipt for goods, do renters still get paid for property loss?

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