Harvey Insurance is a trusted local agency serving families and businesses across Texas, Oklahoma & Arkansas — backed by America’s most reputable carriers.
Most renters in University Park are within walking distance of the SMU campus, in an apartment off Hillcrest, a duplex near Snider Plaza, or a house shared with roommates. A landlord’s policy covers the building and nothing you own. Harvey Insurance covers the rest, usually for the price of a couple of coffees a month.

Student renters underestimate what they own until they add it up. A laptop, a tablet, a phone, a bike, a wardrobe, and the contents of a kitchen add into the thousands fast, and none of it is covered by the building’s policy. Two claims dominate here. The first is theft — campus-adjacent housing sees more of it, especially bikes and electronics from shared entryways. The second is water: an upstairs neighbor’s supply line or a failed water heater ruins everything below it, and the tenant who caused it can be held responsible. Renters insurance covers your belongings, covers your liability if you are the cause, and pays for somewhere to stay if the unit is unlivable. Most University Park policies land under $20 a month.
Get a Free Renters QuoteRenters insurance is one of the most affordable and underutilized forms of coverage. For just a few dollars a month, Harvey Insurance protects everything you own inside your rental — plus gives you liability coverage if someone gets hurt.
Renters claims in University Park cluster around theft, water from somewhere else in the building, and liability.
Housing near a university sees more property crime than the surrounding blocks, and bikes and electronics lead it. Personal property coverage replaces them; the landlord’s policy does not.
In multi-unit buildings the damage usually starts above you. Renters coverage pays for your ruined belongings — and covers you if the leak started in your unit and reached a neighbor’s.
A guest hurt in your apartment or a kitchen fire that spreads becomes your responsibility. Renters liability is the coverage that stands between a student and a bill that follows them for years.

Mid-size buildings within walking distance of campus, where upstairs water losses and entryway theft are the two claims we see most.
Older converted units with shared walls and shared plumbing — a leak next door becomes your problem quickly.
