What is Home insurance?
Home insurance protects your property and belongings against losses like fire, theft, and certain types of damage.
Definition
A home insurance policy typically covers the structure of your home, your personal belongings, and liability if someone is injured on your property. Lenders usually require it while you have a mortgage.
Coverage and exclusions vary, so it's worth understanding what your policy includes — and keeping an up-to-date inventory of your belongings to make any claim smoother.
