- What does tenants insurance include?
If you haven’t thought about tenants insurance for your rented accommodation yet, you’re not alone; more than 50% of renters may not have have any contents cover, which can lead to disaster should the worst happen.
Your landlord is only responsible for the building itself and any fixtures in it, so as a general rule; anything that you would take with you if you moved out, you are responsible for covering. If the damage caused to your belongings isn’t your fault (we’re talking things like leaky pipes), it’s still your responsibility to insure your stuff and won’t come under your landlord’s insurance.
