Insuring your home: what does the law say?

• You own and live in a home

If you own a home and you live in it, you should know that nothing obliges you to insure this property. However, in the event of material damage and personal injury, you are responsible and must pay compensation for all damages. This is why, in the vast majority of cases, owners choose multi-risk home insurance. This covers walls, furniture and all the people who live in the home. There are several levels of guarantees. It is up to you to define your needs and your budget before subscribing to an offer.

• You own an apartment

Since 1 January 2015, according to the ALUR Act, all co-owners must assume civil liability as a minimum. This obligation applies to both residents and non-residents. Please note that certain guarantees can be provided by the cooperative. To know them, it is necessary to refer to the contract or the applicable regulations.

• You are the owner and you rent a home

If you are the owner but do not live in your home, the insurance is only mandatory if your property is part of a shared ownership and this, regardless of whether it is rented out or not. If you want to insure rented accommodation, you can choose a non-resident owner-landlord insurance. These formulas are called PNO. They are designed so that they do not duplicate the guarantees that the tenants will take out. It should be noted that although NPO insurance is not mandatory, it is highly recommended. In fact, renting out a property often happens as part of an investment. Insurance of this property secures the investment.

If you are a tenant, you have no choice: you must insure your home. A certificate of insurance must be given to the owner at the signing of the lease and every year thereafter. If the tenant does not insure the home he lives in, the landlord must send him an opening letter. He can choose to take out home insurance and ask his tenant for a refund. He can also terminate the lease. In this case, the termination clause is specified in the lease (or lease).
