Why You Should Carry a Tenant Protection Plan: Affordable Coverage for Your Stored Belongings

Why You (Yes, You) Should Carry a Tenant Protection Plan: 

  1. Because your stuff deserves more love than your ex gave you. - (And it won't ghost you after 3 months.)
  2. Because your "temporary" storage might turn into a 3-year commitment. - Might as well protect it like it’s your third child.
  3. Because “oops” happens. - Life is basically just one big oops waiting to happen.
  4. Because renter’s regret is real. - And "I should’ve gotten protection" is not something you want to say later.
  5. Because you don’t want your insurance company laughing when you say “it was all in storage.” - We’re not saying they’re heartless… but they can be skeptical.


Life Happens — Be Covered When It Does: The Case for Tenant Protection Plans

Because your stuff deserves more than just a padlock.


So you’ve finally Marie Kondo’d your life and tucked everything into a storage unit. Victory! But what if fire, floods, or frisky rodents crash the party? That’s where tenant protection comes in.


Life Happens. With Tenant Protection, You’re Ready.

Storage units are secure — but even Fort Knox isn’t immune to the unexpected. Fires, floods, break-ins, building collapses… yeah, it’s a list. But with a tenant protection plan, you’re covered for:



  • Fire and water damage (even mold and mildew)
  • Burglary and vandalism
  • Wind, ice, and storm-related collapse
  • Rodent and vermin trouble
  • Damage to stored vehicles, boats, and trailers


Life happens. With tenant protection, you can be prepared — and covered — when it does.


Affordable Plans That Pack a Punch

Whether you're stashing furniture, keepsakes, or your “I’ll-sell-it-someday” treadmill, coverage levels of $2,000 to $5,000 are available — all for a reasonable monthly cost.


And the $100 deductible? It’s waived for burglary claims if you’re using a cylinder or disc padlock. That’s what we call smart storage.

For less than 40 cents a day, you can get thousands of dollars in coverage. Seriously — you can’t even buy a pack of gum for that anymore. A cup of coffee? That’s six bucks. For the price of two lattes a month, you could have $2,000 or more in protection.

If it means enough to transition into storage, it means enough to protect.


RVs, Boats, and Vehicles: Big Toys Deserve Big Protection Too!

Stored your RV or boat for the off-season? Your vehicle insurance might not fully cover damage while it’s parked. Tenant protection fills in the gaps, covering:

  • Dings, dents, scrapes, and scratches
  • Theft or damage to original parts
  • Burglary or attempted burglary (just file a police report)


All with a low deductible and no hassle. Because your big investments deserve more than a parking space.


Store Smarter, Not Harder

Maximize your protection with these pro tips:

  • Snap pics of everything before you store
  • Use pallets or skids to avoid water contact
  • Keep electronics in the back and dry
  • Cover furniture with drop cloths or plastic
  • Always use a high-security lock


A little prep goes a long way — and can make the claims process even smoother.


Need to File a Claim? It’s Easy.

Should something go wrong, filing is a breeze:

  1. Take photos
  2. Prevent further damage
  3. Keep your lock and damaged items
  4. Call the police (if it’s burglary)
  5. File online at tenant.safelease.com


The Wrap-Up: Don’t Just Storage and Lock It. Protect It.


You’ve already made the smart move by storing your stuff. Now go one step further. Add tenant protection, and gain peace of mind for just a few bucks a month.


Because life happens. With tenant protection, you can be prepared — and covered — when it does.
