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$20-30 per month.
Note that the mandatory WHV 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.
