Do renter’s need contents insurance
Lots of home insurance policies are sold to cover both contents and the buildings themselves, but this isn’t always necessary. Renters, for instance, do not usually need Content insurance Trinidad or home insurance, which is typically handled by the landlord, but may consider a contents-only policy to protect their own valuables.
When applying for contents insurance, you will need to supply the following information:
Details about your property
- Your address and property type (Concrete vs Wooden Structure)
- Number of rooms
- When your home was built
- Security arrangements like locks and windows
- Number of occupants and when they tend to be home
The value of your contents
- An overall estimate of what your belongings are worth
- Any high-value items worth more than, including paintings and jewelry
It’s important to estimate the value of your contents correctly, because that’s the total your policy will be able to pay out. A good approach is to go through each room slowly, making an inventory of all your possessions – as they can add up to more than you think.
