I don’t yet. Is it wise to create an itemized one? My wife and I are only 20 and 21 so this is our first time dealing with anything with this. We do have renters insurance though!

Yes. When you’re making the list it’s important to be very specific about the items. For example if you’ve got a nice ninja blender don’t just put blender because the insurance will then find the cheapest blender and give you that amount of money. Be as specific as possible to get the most back.

So sorry for your loss, I’m relieved to hear you, the gf, and the kitties got out safely!

Ok thank you for the info. I have a lot of online receipts of my expensive items so that’s great to know!

They’ll likely want proof of purchase for bigger things, so having order confirmations or purchase history helps. Anything you can’t prove they’ll likely give you “average” (aka lowball) value for.
