Think Warner Insurance.

Tenant insurance protects your personal property as well as your personal liability when renting a property. Your landlord will have insurance on their building but it is unlikely that it covers your personal belongings! Plus, if you unintentionally cause damage, your own insurance will be required to cover this.

What Is Tenant Insurance and Why Do I Need It?

There are two basic kinds of coverage in most tenant insurance policies: tenant’s contents insurance & tenant’s liability insurance.

If everything in your rental property was lost today, could you afford to replace everything in there? Even though you may assume that your contents is not worth a lot, many people underestimate the cost to replace it! Your landlord’s insurance will protect the building itself but will unlikely cover your contents. Some landlords may also require you to have contents insurance for renters as part of their own insurance policy.

Personal Liability is also a huge part of tenant’s insurance. If you accidentally damage a neighbouring property (i.e flooding or fire) or if someone is injured while on your property, you may be legally responsible.

Another coverage option is Additional Living Expenses. If your rental home becomes uninhabitable, your renters insurance will provide additional living expenses up to the amount in your policy. This may include hotel costs and in some cases meals.

For students living away from home while at school, you should ask your Broker to see if this can be covered under their parent’s home insurance policy or whether a separate tenant’s insurance policy is required.
