public specialty, renters, lender-placed, and device-protection insurer

Assurant

A public specialty insurer focused on lender-placed homeowners coverage, renters insurance, manufactured housing, mobile-device protection, and related services. Assurant scores poorly because several products operate where consumers have weak bargaining power, especially lender-placed and bundled coverage.

Why this matters: Assurant is important for apartment renters and borrowers because insurance can be imposed through leases, lenders, or device contracts.
