Coverage Snapshot

What tenant insurance usually helps protect

Tenant insurance is built around protecting your belongings, your liability, and your temporary living costs if your rental becomes unusable after a covered loss.

Contents Coverage

Helps protect personal belongings such as furniture, electronics, clothing, and household items inside your rental unit, up to the policy limits selected.

Personal Liability

Helps protect you if you are legally responsible for bodily injury or property damage to others, including accidental damage to the rental unit.

Additional Living Expenses

If your rental unit becomes unlivable after an insured loss, this can help with temporary costs such as hotel stays, meals, and related expenses within policy limits.

Off-Premises Coverage

Many policies also extend protection to belongings away from home, subject to policy wording, limits, and sublimits for certain valuables.

Who It's For

Designed for renters who want clarity before they commit

FAQ

Questions renters ask us all the time

These are some of the most common starting points before a client moves ahead with a tenant insurance quote.

Most policies are built around contents coverage, personal liability, additional living expenses, and in some cases off-premises protection for belongings away from home.

No. Your landlord’s policy generally protects the building and their own liability, not your furniture, electronics, clothing, or other personal property.

If you accidentally cause a fire, overflow, or other damage that affects the property or other people, personal liability coverage can become extremely important.

It is not legally required by the province, but many landlords require it as part of the lease, and it is strongly recommended even when it is not mandatory.

Yes, if the rental becomes unlivable after an insured loss, additional living expenses coverage can help with temporary accommodations and related costs, subject to policy limits.
