Let us tell you about you the coverage available
The Owner Occupancy policy includes the following coverages:
Your home
You can establish the amount of insurance needed to cover the cost of rebuilding your home using an appraisal guide or, even better, the services of a professional appraiser.
Your dependencies
A percentage of the home insurance amount is included for dependencies (detached garage, shed, etc.).
Your personal property
This includes home décor items, bedding, clothing, even your toothbrush! An inventory of your belongings will help you determine how much insurance you need.
Your living expenses
This amount covers the additional costs of temporary accommodations, food, and living expenses while your home is uninhabitable as a result of a covered accident.
Your valuables
Do you have furs, artwork, collections or cash in your home? We recommend that you check the coverage limits in your current policy and insure your valuables for their full worth.
Additional coverage
Several other coverages are available and some, like Replacement value with no obligation to rebuild, Single deductible or Water damage, are even free if you meet the insurer’s criteria.
