    The Limitations of Landlord Insurance

    Standard landlord insurance in Canada typically provides coverage for perils like fire or natural disasters. However, coverage for tenant-caused damages may not be included. APOLLO Insurance understands this gap and offers comprehensive solutions to address this potential risk.

    Protection for Landlords and Tenants

    Tenant insurance is crucial to protect both landlords and tenants. It covers the tenant's personal belongings and any damages they may cause to the rental property. Having tenant insurance reduces financial burdens for tenants and minimizes potential conflicts between landlords and tenants.

    Benefits for Landlords

    Promoting tenant insurance offers numerous benefits to landlords. It helps protect their rental property investment and minimizes the financial impact of tenant-caused damages. Additionally, tenant insurance reduces the risk of disputes and streamlines the claims process, ultimately saving time, money, and effort for landlords.
