Reliable Renters Insurance, Tailored for You

Whether you're renting an apartment in West Roxbury, a triple-decker in Dorchester, or a townhouse in Roslindale, your belongings deserve protection. At James W. Hennigan Insurance Agency, we help renters across Greater Boston secure the coverage they need—without overpaying or overcomplicating the process.

Why You Need Renters Insurance

Your landlord’s insurance covers the building—not your personal belongings. If there’s a fire, theft, or water damage, you could be left replacing everything out of pocket.



Renters insurance bridges that gap, offering affordable protection for your possessions, personal liability, and temporary housing if needed. At Hennigan Insurance, we help Boston renters find flexible, budget-friendly coverage that fits real life.
