Be sure to protect yourself and your belongings with the right renters insurance to protect the things that you care about. No matter what life throws your way, you’ll have the right protection for your home with tenant insurance.

FAQ

If you rent your home, your landlord’s property insurance will not cover your belongings in case of fire, theft, or water damage. Landlord property insurance isn’t responsible for protecting your property. Tenant insurance covers damage and replacement costs to your personal belongings. If you add up the value of your furniture, electronics, computer(s), clothes, and all the other possessions in your home, the value probably comes to much more than you would have estimated. Not having everything protected if something happened could be a disaster. Tenant insurance also provides you with personal liability protection. This coverage protects you against lawsuits for damage you may have accidentally caused, particularly to your building or your neighbors.

Every tenant should have tenant insurance coverage, to protect one’s belongings against personal liability. Speak to your insurance representative about your current situation and needs, in order to get the right coverage for your rental home.

You aren’t required by law to have tenant insurance, but many landlords will ask you to get coverage before renting to you. Landlords' insurance policies do not cover your personal effects, nor your personal liability. So, getting a tenant insurance policy is a safe way to cover your belongings and against personal liability in case of damage or accidents.

We offer tenant insurance for occupying tenants in rental apartments and homes, condos, apartments, lofts, studios micro apartments, townhouses, apartments in high-rises, etc.

Tenant insurance does not cover flooding from a body of water or from the outside of the dwelling, but we offer water damage protection endorsements that cover accidental sewer backup and overflow of a body of water if you are eligible. Water damages caused by the malfunctioning or damages by sanitary installations in your building would be covered under your insurance contract.

Talk to your insurance representative to add additional coverage for water damages to your policy and to see if you are eligible.
