    After over 25 years with State Farm. We were in the process of settling our Roof claim when informed that our policy was being terminated due to too many claims. 2021 plumbing claim, 2022 Roof to House and 2025 Roof to detached Garage Apartment. 3 claims in 25 years and because of this third claim that is still not completed or resolved we were cancelled. We have had (4) policies in the past that were rental property and never had an issue with State Farm that ALL go back to 1986. Is there some assistance in helping finish and settling our claim or do State Farm get away with not paying this claim.

    Warning: It does not benefit you to purchase additional products/services as State Farm will find reason to deny your claim. This comes from following a phone call I received from Home and Fire Claim Services regarding the denial of my renters insurance claim for personal property damage.

    I have been a loyal policyholder, paying for renters insurance consistently for the past 14 years. It is both distressing and unacceptable to learn that my recent claim has been denied on the grounds that the damage to my property, which resulted from the actions of my neighbors where they chose to use their bedroom as a makeshift lavatory in which the soil leaked into my unit causing tons of damage and State Farm has denied my claim. What is the purpose of renters insurance? You now tell me I have to read 34 pages of approved coverage but when you signed me up for the policy, you ensured me that any damage caused within my unit would be covered ie; smoke, water, theft, electrical, and any other damage. Your information was deceiving, misleading, and left this customer highly disappointed.

      My apartment was flooded, and State Farm denied my claim because the flooding caused mold. They would only cover my belongings if they were simply wet, offering to pay for drying them. I suggest not relying on State Farm; their service is terrible.

      I would avoid State Farm Renter's insurance at all cost. My insurance adjuster would not send someone to take a look at my apartment to assess what happened (a leak from a different apartment that flooded mine). He led me believe I would be covered with temporary accommodations while my apartment's entire floor was redone + being treated for mold. Instead, he manufactured a narrative that frankly did not happen, lied about what my policy included (said mold coverage was not included but it did) so that he could promptly deny my claim.

      It took me months to finally get him kicked off my case, I wrote, called and chatted 5+ times. I also suffered an medical emergency, requiring surgery and was unable to keep pursuing an opened case. On top of that, the managing office that gave me my policy did not want to send me details. I could write in more detail but this particular adjuster was unprofessional and incompetent.

      I had water damage in my home from my fridge. I made a claim over a month ago. They never call you back. I have to call. Leave five messages just to get a call back then put in my claim on items that was damaged and only paid me out half of what I submitted and still can’t get a call back. They care more about their deductible than they do about your items.

      They charged us about $400 per month for full coverage car insurance. Today, we had flat tires and we requested towing through State Farm roadside service. We waited more than 3 hours and nobody came for towing! When I call my State Farm agent to ask, it is another service, I don't know why they delayed, I can transfer you to roadside service!!!! It was the answer, they charged us $400 per month, and one time that we needed their service, we got zero services!!! Just avoid this company, THEY GET YOUR MONEY WITHOUT ANY SERVICES!!

      If you are seeking a company who like a good neighbor has their own back always, then look no further. This company made the entire process painful, and frankly a bit ridiculous on many levels. Bottomline is this!!! How much are they making, and that's it. When the final agreement has been signed, count on never hearing a word back from your agent or adjuster ever again! Way to go State Farm!! You lead by great example. You must be so so so proud of all you have accomplished. Keep it up. Friend.

      Renters insurance is SUPER simple through State Farm. Full disclosure, I worked for a State Farm when I started my policy, but I don't work for them anymore (but I kept the insurance). I had never had renter's before my agent (then boss) explained it to me, and now I recommend it to everyone renting, especially because it can be so affordable! I personally haven't had to file a claim, but I know personal friends who have and it has totally come through for them. Additionally, when we moved a couple months ago it was insanely easy to update our address and not have any lapse in coverage. And the State Farm app makes it super easy to monitor and make payments as well! Highly recommend!

      Just the process of purchasing the correct insurance took more time than was necessary. I was simply adding it to my existing auto policies. I have 3 autos and have been a customer with State Farm over 30 years and have seen their customer service decline in recent years. I am currently seeking out other companies for a comparison.

      I had State Farm's renter's Insurance for many years, for protection of my personal property, not ever thinking that I would ever have to use it. Unfortunately one morning my daughter woke up after I had left for work to an electrical outlet fire in her bedroom. I'm so very grateful that the smoke detectors were in good working order, and that the FDD got to her in a timely manner. My daughter's life was spared which was most important, but afterwards we had to deal with the damage that was done emotionally and physically. State Farm made the claims process easy and it was done in such a timely and professional manner. Within less than 1 month I received a check to cover the damaged personal property. I highly recommend State Farm Renter's Insurance. Also the monthly payments are very affordable. It's better to need it and have it, than to not have it but need it.

      Mother passed away August 2020, on 9/2/20 I called Dane **'s office to inform him. Spoke with someone named Jeff, he said he will cancel policy and send a check for $95.80 in her name. I recently received a renewal bill for her renters ins., called and spoke with Dane. His response was "her policy is still in effect, I can only go back 30 days for a refund, and I don't know who Jeff is". He finally agreed if I provide him with a Death Certificate and Lease Termination he'll look further into it. Worst customer service and less empathy. I haven't heard that State Farm has to file bankruptcy..

      Been a State Farm policy holder for over 20 years. Whether Car insurance, Home Insurance, or as the case is now Renters Insurance, I have always felt confident have State Farm by my side. Though I’ve never had to put in a claim on my renters insurance as of yet. I feel confident in the pricing I pay and that State Farm would be there in my time of need.

      This insurance is provides peace of mind for anyone renting that is concerned about loss to their property in the apartment. It is not expense with an annual policy for a whole year less than $200.00. You can bundle it with auto and it will reduce the premium. I have a local agent that is very helpful and the staff is always great. I feel they provided the insurance that I need for the apartment.

      When presented with the idea of renters insurance, I didn't think much about it. When the agent contacted me and set up and appointment for my annual insurance review, I didn't expect to be given so much information. They bundled my existing car insurance with my renters insurance and I saved so much money!
