TALK to your insurance broker or sales person, and ask them to explain to you and your son 'Replacement Cost" insurance. Its what we all think we have, and when there is a loss, we are disappointed to learn that we have a policy that only pays “Actual Cash Value”
Hope it helps

With my policy I have full replacement value of everything. I originally had $20,000 of coverage and did a walk through and estimated what it would cost to replace everything brand new. I have designer purses and shoes, plus all the furniture and electronics. Some policies have separate riders for electronics and jewelry, so you need to ask. I greatly increased my coverage once I realized what it would cost to replace everything.

I am so glad to see people with renters insurance! I know people that didn’t have it and lost everything when there was a fire or other disaster. I would never be without it, even at a minimal level. I second the suggestion to talk with your agent about what makes sense for you.
