A home inventory for renters insurance should answer: what did you own, what was it worth, and can you show proof? Photos, serial numbers, and where items live (closet bin 7, office tote 6) matter as much as a spreadsheet column for “electronics.”
What to include
- Electronics and cameras (lenses, bodies, chargers) with photos.
- Furniture and appliances you brought into the unit.
- Jewelry, bikes, and tools with receipts when you have them.
- Documents stored in labeled bins (passport pouch, leases, warranties).
Keep proof findable
- Number storage bins and photograph contents.
- Update records when you buy or donate major items.
- Store a backup export outside the apartment.
