HO-4: This policy was designed with renters in mind. It covers all of the personal property that you have in your apartment, it also offers liability coverage to protect you if someone is injured in your apartment. Liability protection will cover the cost of a person's medical bills if they are injured in your apartment. If they decide to sue you, this coverage will pay for the cost of your legal defense as well as any settlements or judgments that come out of the lawsuit.

What is the difference between actual cash value and replacement cost value?

Homeowners insurance is available in both actual cash value (ACV) and replacement cost value (RCV). Knowing the difference is important:

Actual cash value: When valuing your personal possessions, an actual cash value policy will take depreciation into account. This means that your 10-year-old TV will be basically worthless according to your insurance company. While an ACV policy tends to be cheaper, if you have to make a claim you may be disappointed in your claim payout.

Replacement cost value: A RCV policy will replace your possessions with brand new items of similar quality regardless of how old they were at the time they were destroyed. While RCV policies are slightly more expensive, they are well worth the cost if you have to make a claim.
