An Unusual Home Invasion Makes a Strong Case for Renter's Insurance

Imagine returning home from work and finding your apartment wrecked... by a deer! That's what happened to tenants in Saint John, New Brunswick this past Thursday.

According to the Telegraph-Journal, a deer gained access to a first-floor apartment by jumping through a window. Afraid and confused, the deer tore through the apartment, injuring itself and causing extensive damage to the tenants' belongings, which included some reportedly irreplaceable collector's items.

Fortunately, the deer couldn't access the tenants' bedrooms because the doors were closed, and none of the tenants was hurt. But the tenants will need to replace their belongings using their own money, because neither one had purchased renter's insurance, according to the Telegraph-Journal.
