What kind of documentation should I, as a renter, keep?

If you have any sort of documentation that can prove the value of your personal property, you should keep it for future reference, if you are a renter. If you've just bought a new flat screen TV, it would be nice to keep the receipt. If you have any sort of specialized property, like a wine collection, for example, it would be good to have an independent appraisal filed with your insurance company, so that there's no disagreements going in if you lose that property about what it's going to cost to reimburse you. Any sort of documentation on items you own is always valuable, because it will show the insurer some proof of what needs to be paid out in order to replace the property you've lost.
