Choosing coverage doesn’t have to be complicated.

Start with the goal:

Keep your rent current if you temporarily can’t work due to a covered illness or injury.

What RENTFLOW Says You Can Protect

RENTFLOW notes plans can protect roughly:

$1,000 to $4,000/month in rent

With an option to add utility coverage

What It Typically Costs

Premiums typically start around:

2% to 3% of monthly rent

A Simple Way to Choose Coverage

Start with your actual rent amount

Protect as close to your monthly rent as possible.

Consider essentials

If utilities are a major risk, look at the utility add-on option.

Think in “stress scenarios”

If you missed 1 month of income, would you still stay current?

Budgeting Tip

Compare the premium to the cost of one crisis month: late fees, stress, and potential eviction risk can be far more expensive than planning ahead.

Secure Your Rent With a Plan

If your rent is your biggest monthly obligation, protecting it is one of the most practical moves you can make. Learn more and see if you qualify.
