Does State Farm renters insurance cover moving?

My lease is ending and I’m moving to a different apartment. I’m a bit nervous about my stuff since I have to walk up and down a few flights of stairs. Will my State Farm renters insurance policy cover moving?

Congratulations on your new apartment! Moving can be stressful, but hopefully, everything goes smoothly. Your State Farm renters insurance will cover damage when you’re moving if it is caused by a
covered peril
.
For example, if your belongings are stolen from your car or truck while you’re moving things, they’d be covered up to your policy’s limits. That said, typical exclusions on your renters insurance policy will also apply to your move. Here are a few things that are generally not covered by your renters insurance:
  • Damage caused by movers
  • Damage or theft caused by negligence
  • Any damage that isn’t a result of a covered peril
To confirm your coverage before the big day, reach out to your
State Farm
agent. They answer any questions you may have about your coverage.
