    Were you thinking that your things were covered by your landlord's insurance? Sorry, but that's not the way it works. You'll need your own Tenant Insurance to protect your belongings from perils like theft, vandalism, fire, and falling objects the minute you begin renting. Recent estimates say that only about half of the over 4 million Canadians who rent their homes have insurance for their contents or for any liability arising out of their being tenants. Having the right policy in place can swing the odds in your favour!

    Tenants Insurance in Guelph and area makes sure that you can replace the personal property in the house or apartment that you rent. The building you live in may have insurance that protects it under your landlord's policy, but this insurance will not cover your personal property. In fact, if you take a look at your lease you will probably see that you are required to buy Renters Insurance before moving in.

    If you had to move out of your apartment or house temporarily due to damage to the building or your unit where would you live. Not only will your policy protect your personal items, it will also give you help with temporary housing.

    Your policy can also provide you with liability protection if a liability lawsuit is brought against you. This could occur in a situation that you are held responsible for:

    • Injury to another person on or off your property
    • Damage to another person's property(whether the incident occurred within your rented residence or elsewhere)

    Once you determine your insurance needs, knowing your options will help you choose the best policy.

    The more your assets grow, the higher your liability risks are. No matter how well you’ve covered your bases, sometimes things go wrong. A car accident. A guest who slips and falls on your property. A lawsuit. If you don’t have the right coverage, an unfortunate situation can compromise your financial security and put your personal assets at risk.

    An excess policy responds when the underlying liability limits of your other policies, such as home and auto, aren’t enough to cover the unexpected costs of a lawsuit or accident.

    It is important to note that most Canadian insurance policies carry on average $1,000,000 of liability coverage. This limit can quickly become quickly exhausted and is very frequently limited to North America. The Group Personal Excess policy provided by Chubb Insurance provides up to $5M of worldwide coverage which extends to all dependent member of your house hold and also provides coverage for foreign owned assets.*
