It can also cover your legal responsibility if someone is hurt in your unit. Your landlord&#8217;s policy covers the building, not your personal property.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"h-what-tenant-insurance-covers\">What Tenant Insurance Covers<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>A tenant insurance policy usually includes a few main types of protection:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li>Your personal belongings, such as furniture, clothing, and electronics.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Liability, if you are responsible for injury or damage to others.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Extra living costs, if you must stay elsewhere after a covered loss.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>A <a href=\"https:\/\/www.speedycash.ca\/resources\/wiki\/deductible\/\">deductible<\/a>, the amount you pay before coverage begins.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"h-why-tenant-insurance-helps-your-budget\">Why Tenant Insurance Helps Your Budget<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>Tenant insurance can protect you from a large, unexpected bill. Replacing stolen or damaged belongings out of pocket can add up fast. A monthly premium is often small next to the cost of replacing everything you own, and it can ease pressure on your <a href=\"https:\/\/www.speedycash.ca\/resources\/wiki\/household-expenses\/\">household expenses<\/a> after a loss.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"h-planning-for-the-cost\">Planning for the Cost<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>You pay for tenant insurance with a regular premium, often monthly. Build the premium into your <a href=\"https:\/\/www.speedycash.ca\/resources\/wiki\/fixed-expenses\/\">fixed expenses<\/a> so it fits your budget. Setting aside a small amount for your deductible helps you handle a claim without stress. You can compare coverage basics at the <a href=\"https:\/\/www.ibc.ca\/\">Insurance Bureau of Canada<\/a>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"h-frequently-asked-questions\">Frequently Asked Questions<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"h-is-tenant-insurance-the-same-as-renter-s-insurance\">Is tenant insurance the same as renter\u2019s insurance?<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>Yes. In Canada, tenant insurance and renter\u2019s insurance describe the same coverage for people who rent a home.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"h-does-my-landlord-s-insurance-cover-my-belongings\">Does my landlord&#8217;s insurance cover my belongings?<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>No. Your landlord&#8217;s policy covers the building. Tenant insurance covers your personal property and liability.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"h-what-is-a-deductible-on-tenant-insurance\">What is a deductible on tenant insurance?<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>A deductible is the amount you pay toward a claim before your insurance covers the rest.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"h-summary\">Summary<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p id=\"h-\">Tenant insurance protects your belongings and helps you avoid a large surprise cost.
