Renter’s insurance (or “tenant’s insurance”)

In Canada, the law does not require a tenant to have renter’s insurance and your landlord cannot force you to get it. However, it’s advisable to purchase coverage. Typically, renter’s insurance can help you replace your belongings after a loss due to theft, fire, or water damage, and protects you if someone gets hurt or if someone else’s property is damaged because of your negligence. Shop around, but coverage could be around CA$20-CA$30 per month.

Note that the mandatory travel health insurance you bought before coming to Canada is not renter’s insurance. Pvtistes.net has partnered with YouSet to help you find the best price on your rental insurance.

Amoureuse des Etats-Unis, de l'Utah et du voyage en train, j'ai passé 7 mois à Montréal en 2010, et j'en ai profité pour découvrir la Nouvelle-Angleterre en long, en large et en travers !
Mon coup de cœur avec Montréal date de 2008, et d'un mois estival là-bas... Depuis, je ne fais qu'y retourner !

J'ai réalisé deux tours des Etats-Unis (& Canada) en 2012 puis en 2014. Plusieurs mois sur les routes, c'est formateur... De retour à Montréal en 2019-2020 pour un PVT, avant de raccrocher !
Sur PVTistes.net, j'aime partager mon expérience sur le forum, dans des dossiers thématiques ou même en personne ! Vous me croiserez sûrement à Lyon, ma ville de cœur.
