What renters should do
Do not infer that insurance is required or prohibited from this page. Check the lease and current Rental Officer guidance for the specific tenancy.
Landlord insurance is not your contents policy
A landlord’s building policy generally protects the owner’s property interest, not the full replacement value of your furniture, electronics, clothing and other belongings. Tenant policies commonly combine personal-property coverage, personal liability and additional living expenses, subject to exclusions and limits.
How much contents coverage?
Do not pick a round number only because it makes the premium cheaper. Build a room-by-room replacement-cost inventory, add items such as electronics, bicycles, jewellery and hobby equipment, then compare the result with the insurer’s sub-limits.

Compare policies on the same settings
Use the same contents limit, liability limit, deductible and optional water coverage on every quote. Otherwise the cheapest monthly premium may simply be buying less protection.
