Homeowners Insurance

Homeowners insurance is an insurance policy to be taken out when you do not live in the house you own, but rent it out to others. It is necessary to be prepared for the risk of natural disasters, but you also need to be prepared for damage to your property caused by fire from a neighbor’s house or damage caused by firefighting activities that result in flooding. In addition, you need to be prepared for risks specific to rental properties such as injuries to tenants or passersby due to building damage and other liabilities, or loss of rental income due to fire or natural disasters.

*Coverage details, product/rider names, etc. vary by insurance company.

Homeowners insurance covers detached houses, condominiums, or apartments used as a residence.

You can take out insurance for your building, or for both your building and household goods.

Insurance will be paid in the event of damage caused by fire, lightning, rupture/explosion, wind, hail, snow, water, falling/flying/colliding objects from outside the building, water leakage, violent acts associated with disturbances or group activities, theft/damage/defacement due to theft, or unforeseen and unexpected accidents.
