What is Homebody?

Homebody offers renters insurance coverage. Renters insurance is for those who are renting a residential living space and want to protect the belongings located in it. Homebody covers personal belongings in the event of theft, water damage, fire or other loss. Additionally, it provides protection against you and your family in a liability claim. This means you have coverage if you cause damage to someone else’s property. Homebody works with multiple carriers. Coverage amounts range from $10,000 to $50,000.

Do we recommend Homebody?

Homebody is most beneficial if you live in an apartment, townhome, condo or duplex. It offers good, customizable options for protecting your belongings in the event of a loss. It only covers up to $50,000 in personal contents, so if your belongings have more value, it may not be the right fit. There are a few deductible and billing frequency options to help with the overall cost.

    It was easy to get my insurance with Homebody. When I was applying for my apartment and I got approved, Homebody was the one that was attached to my lease. It was the one that the leasing office has sent that was the best one, and I chose to pick them. They had good price ranges, and I saw everything was there. And the reliability and all the policies they had felt like a company that I wanted to be a part of and get. Look at everything that the Homebody has to offer, and if that fits your needs, you should get their insurance.

      I saw a Homebody ad online. I asked my sister about it and she had said she knew somebody that had the insurance. It was the best coverage that I had found. I had looked at other coverages before I got to Homebody, and they cover everything that I needed to be covered. It's an excellent plan to indulge in getting.

      My apartment complex recommended Homebody. Signing up for the coverage was pretty easy. They are really economical. Also, they had really good customer service because there was an error on it when I first did it, and when I called them, they got it done pretty quickly, which actually surprised me. It used my old home address that was put on my new policy with Homebody when I was moving into an apartment complex. So, I had to call them back to get that switched over to that policy and create a new one. The gentleman I talked to was really nice, and he got it done fairly quickly. I have good coverage. Getting a hold of a representative on the phone took a long wait time. But as soon as I got somebody on the phone, it was pretty easy from there.

      We got Homebody renter's insurance because of the apartment. Where we rented the apartment, they recommended Homebody and we'd recommend them as well. We signed up online and we didn't have any problems. We were able to navigate the website so it worked out. We went with a coverage that was recommended by the place that we rented the apartment from and we got the minimum requirements.

      Getting renter’s insurance was recommended through the new place I was moving into. I went with Homebody, and the user interface was easy to use. It was the first thing I signed up for my new apartment, and it was simple. No complicated terms. It was also easy to download the contract PDF because I like to have that stuff on my computer.

      The staff was great. A little disappointing to have to get a new policy to add an apartment number and charged twice in one month for this simple change. I paid my September bill for the original policy and two days later had to pay again because I needed the policy to include the apartment number.

      I would strongly advise against using this company for your renters' insurance. We used this company to pay for the renter's insurance on my parents' apartment, and they asked my mom and dad to both create their own account, both linked to the same property. When they did this, Homebody by their own admission mistakenly created two separate policies, which means my parents have been getting double-charged for their rental insurance. We did not catch this until a year later, when it was time to renew.

      When we discovered the error, we reached out to the company and they admitted it was their mistake, but here is the issue: they would not refund more than the last three months of double-payments. Over a year of double-charging because of their own error, and they won't refund us. That speaks to the company's character, and it speaks very poorly of them. We will not be using this company again, and I have been telling all of my friends and family not to use them, either.
