There are differences between moving to an apartment and moving to a single-family home. However, one of the similarities is requiring some form of insurance to protect you from unforeseen problems such as flooding, fire damage, and theft.

You might think you don’t need insurance but in case these things happen, can you really afford to buy everything you own at once? They start to add up pretty quickly. And while homeowners have homeowners’ insurance, as a renter, you should have renters insurance in Abbotsford Victoria BC.

Renters insurance in Abbotsford is basically a type of insurance that covers the property of people living in rented properties. Like a typical homeowners insurance, it will cover the costs of losses brought about by theft or damage caused by natural disasters.

Some might argue that they already have their landlord’s home insurance to rely on in case these things happen. But the landlord’s insurance will only cover the structure itself. It will not cover the costs of losses to your personal property. If someone breaks into your home and steals your stuff, you won’t be able to rely on your landlord’s home insurance.

Here are some of the things that are covered by renters insurance in Abbotsford Victoria BC:

Personal Property

It will cover the costs of personal belongings such as valuables, furniture, appliances, and clothes in case they are stolen, vandalized, or lost due to a fire. However, basic renters insurance does not cover the costs of water damage losses. You will have to get separate coverage for flooding.

Renters Liability

Do you like to have guests on your property? If you like entertaining people, you would want to get this type of coverage. In case someone gets injured on your property, even if it’s not your fault, you will not have to be responsible for their medical expenses. Your renter's insurance will take care of it.

Additional Living Expenses Coverage

If, for some reason, you need to move out of the apartment, this coverage will help cover the costs of living in a temporary place. For instance, if the apartment needs to undergo repairs and you will have to move out as a result, you can use this coverage to get money for your additional expenses.

It is truly a useful insurance for renters. And for those who like to travel, your renters insurance can provide additional travel coverage as well.
