There are a million good reasons to have Houston renters insurance, regardless how little you think your personal property is worth. Everything you own can be taken from you in a second, and you can wind up with nothing. Houston renters insurance allows you to replace the things lost or destroyed rather than having nothing left.
At this point, you’d expect that we’d tell you about a burglary or an apartment fire. They’re more frequent than you think.
But that’s not the case here. This week, while all was quiet and most of the apartment complex had already been in bed for hours, a resident tried to drive back to her apartment.
Crystal Sauceda, 24, drove straight through the metal gate of the complex.
After hitting the side of one building hard enough to bring down brick walls, she continued on in search of her apartment. After striking seven vehicles in the parking lot, she then attempted to walk into her apartment as if nothing was wrong at all.
Several apartments in the Cinnamon Ridge Apartments, at 5565 Spencer, are uninhabitable now because of the damage done by this one drunk driver. Falling bricks crushed family mementos, computers were reduced to rubble, even furniture couldn’t escape the deadly onslaught of bricks and construction materials propelled by an errant vehicle. She literally drove through the building.
As far as we’re aware, there are no serious injuries reported, but the story is frightening nonetheless. You think that you’re safe because you live in a nice apartment complex. People careen through buildings when they miss a curve at 50 or 60 MPH, usually. But apparently, there is a risk of someone driving through your apartment even behind a steel gate and in an upscale neighborhood.
Houston renters insurance protects you from these risks and helps you to rebuild your life when the worst happens.
