Does your renter’s insurance move with you when you move?

Does the same renters’ insurance policy move with the insured when they move from one home to another? Within the same city? State? To another state?

Yes. When you move within the same town or state, you only need to update your address, typically. Your premiums may go up or down due to your new address. One of the criteria for premium setting relates to location. A bad neighborhood of high crime costs more in premiums because it increases the risk to the insurance company. Conversely, if you move to a nicer neighborhood in Boise, ID, your premiums could drop.
