Does Rental Insurance Cover Pest Control?

In any living situation, you are going to come up against pests. Though these pests are not predictable, it is important that you take the time to prepare before they ever show up. For those that live in a rental home, it may be more difficult to fight pests. For those that live in the Arlington, TX area, the agents with Strack Insurance Services can help you to find the right rental policy for your particular rental.

Rental insurance covers a great deal. It helps to cover the cost of replacing items that are destroyed in something like a fire, it can help pay to replace items that are stolen, and it can help you pay to find another place to stay if your home is destroyed. Rental insurance, like home insurance, however, does not pay for pest control. Pest control falls under the category of home maintenance which is not covered in home policies.

If you have pests, it is suggested that you take the time to talk with your landlord to handle the pests or to take the time to get your pests under control before they cause a great deal of damage. For the most part, your landlord will work to take care of pests so that they do not damage their property. You cannot claim pest damage on a rental policy either. Pests are something that you cannot avoid in most cases and the best thing you can do is to take control of them before they cause a great deal of damage.
