Residents insurance

About “Residents Insurance” *

Residents insurance is an insurance policy to be taken out when you are living in the house you own. The owner of a building must be prepared for damage to the building and household goods caused by accidents that may occur in daily life, such as fire, lightning, typhoons and other natural disasters, theft, and water leakage from water pipes. In addition, it is necessary to have coverage for the risk of being legally liable for damages if you or a family member injures another person or damages another person’s property due to an accident in daily life.
