Protect Your Belongings with Property Insurance

Whether you rent or own, you will want to protect your home and everything in it by purchasing property insurance.

Financial Protection

Property insurance can provide financial protection in the following situations:

  • If your home or possessions are damaged, for example, by a fire
  • If your possessions are stolen, either from your home or while you’re travelling
  • If someone is injured while visiting your home.

You may also want to take out additional coverage to protect items of particular value, such as jewellery, furs, computers and stereo equipment, against theft or damage.

Insurance for Tenants and Owners

There are two main types of property insurance:

  • Tenant’s insurance is for people who rent an apartment or house. This type of insurance, sometimes called contents insurance, provides coverage for your possessions and also protects you financially if someone is injured while visiting your home. It does not protect the actual building in which you live, because the owner of the property is responsible for that.
  • Homeowner’s insurance is for people who have purchased a house or condominium. This type of insurance protects both the structure and the contents, as well as protecting you financially if someone is injured while on your property.

We can help you select the type of insurance and the amount of coverage that is right for your needs. Visit your RBC branch or get a quote online.
