You can customize your policy just how you like it so you're only paying for the coverage you need.

Additional living expenses coverage options ranging from $5,000 to $30,000

What is tenant insurance and why is it important?
Most people are familiar with home insurance. Less familiar is Tenant Insurance (also known as renters insurance), which protects you if you're renting a residence. Renters Insurance is a requirement for many landlord-tenant lease agreements, but even if it's not, it's a good idea to have. It can end up saving you from covering the cost of replacing your valuable items in the event of a fire, theft, or flood.
Tenant Insurance can also help pay for the extra costs of having to live somewhere else if your residence becomes uninhabitable due to an insured loss. This can include the cost of lodging, such as temporary rent at a separate location, hotels, or Airbnbs, and can also help with other costs like restaurant meals and storage fees.
Although landlords likely have insurance of their own, your landlord's insurance typically only covers the building. This leaves your contents of your unit unprotected. Further, if you were found liable for damages to the building, your landlord's insurance company may come after you for the costs. Renters Insurance can aid you in both of these situations. Further, it can cover certain expenses that arise from an emergency. Read more about the benefits of Renters Insurance here.

Is it mandatory to have tenant insurance in Saskatchewan?
While tenant insurance isn’t legally required in Saskatchewan, many landlords do require it as part of the lease agreement. Even if it’s not mandatory, having tenant insurance is a smart decision. It protects your personal belongings and provides crucial liability coverage, helping you avoid significant out-of-pocket expenses in the event of an unforeseen incident.
What happens if you don’t have tenant insurance?
Without tenant insurance, you’re at risk of significant financial loss. If your personal belongings are damaged or stolen, you’ll have to cover the replacement costs out of pocket. Additionally, if you're held liable for someone getting injured in your home or you accidentally damage someone else's property, you could face significant out-of-pocket costs. Protect yourself from these risks with APOLLO Insurance, providing you with peace of mind and financial security.

What is personal liability coverage?
Liability insurance protects you if you are held responsible for causing property damage or bodily injuries to others while at home or away anywhere in the world.

What are additional living expenses?
This coverage protects against increased living expenses you may incur because your rented unit can’t be lived in. This could be a result of damage to your home from an insured loss or an order to evacuate your home as a result of a sudden, accidental event. For example, it can help cover expenses like a hotel room, storage costs, meals, laundry, transportation, and more if you can’t live in your condo while repairs are being made after an insured loss.
