Please note that you will be asked to provide proof of income.

By subscribing a home insurance, at least for rental risks (the minimum required), you will be covered against damage resulting from fire, explosion or water damage. In most cases, your civil liability will also be insured, covering you in the event of damage caused to others. Civil liability is not always included in rental risk cover, so be sure to check this with your policy and your insurer.

However, with rental risk cover, your insurance will only cover damage to the home and/or building. Your possessions – computer, console, musical instruments, in short, anything that belongs to you – will not be covered.

Please note: it is not compulsory to take out an insurance policy for a furnished rental known as a ‘holiday rental’ (it is not your place of residence and you only stay there for a maximum of 90 days a year). However, it is advisable to insure your liability towards the owner.

Although insuring your home is an obligation, the choice of your insurance provider is up to you. Home insurance prices vary quite considerably, depending on the location of the flat, its size and the tenant’s capital (sum of the value of all the possessions).

To find a home insurance quote, you can go directly to the websites of insurance companies that offer simulations. There are several online solutions, for example: SMENO, Etud assur, HEYME, etc.

You can also visit the following offices:
– General insurance agent
– Insurance broker
– Insurance company
– Bank

Who insures the property in the case of a shared tenancy? -> At least one flatmate must be insured against rental risks. However, in the event of a claim, each flatmate will have to contribute to repairing the damage in proportion to their share of the rent.

What should I do in the event of a claim? -> You must contact your insurance company within 5 working days (48 hours in the event of theft) by registered letter with acknowledgement of receipt, stating your name, policy number, the date of the claim, the nature of the claim and a description of the damage.
