Your home
Home insurance
Karibu Community Homes is responsible for insuring the building of your property but NOT the contents or your personal possessions.
This is known as ‘contents insurance’ and it is your responsibility to ensure that adequate insurance cover is arranged to protect you from the cost of replacing personal items in the event of accidental damage, loss or theft.
No matter how careful you are, there’s always a risk that your belongings could be broken, damaged or stolen.
Contents Insurance
Why do I need it?
If you are a tenant who rents, it is unlikely your landlord will cover your contents as part of the tenancy agreement. It’s a good idea to consider what a home contents insurance policy would cover you for in order to help you make an informed decision on whether you need one.
Contents insurance is designed to help protect your possessions. No matter how careful you are, there’s always a risk that your belongings could be broken, damaged or stolen.
To help you decide whether home contents insurance is right for you, we have teamed up with Thistle Tenant Risks, and Great Lakes Insurance UK Limited who provide the My Home Contents Insurance Scheme, a Tenants Contents Insurance policy designed for tenants living in social housing.
The My Home Contents Insurance Scheme can offer you insurance for the contents of your home including cover for items such as furniture, carpets, curtains, clothes, bedding, electrical items, jewellery, pictures and ornaments.
