Highly recommend Miguel

Highly recommend Miguel. He was able to get me into the right product at a lesser price than I expected. Got everything done in a day would’ve been quicker if Autoplus did not crash. Five stars!!!!

Great experience with Prat from Surex

Great experience with Prat from Surex . He managed to get things done in a day while everyone else said it will take at least 2 weeks. He understood complicated file quickly and managed to help me out with it . I got Auto insurance at the best rate! I was with TD insurance previously and paid wzy more for exsact tje same policy. I paid it upfront and once time came to an end they did not call or email or any notification about it and just canceled!!! Then told me it will take 2 weeks to get the new one . And I work as a Realtor so to have my car available to drive its absolutely necessary. Very disappointing TD .. I am happy I find Prat he definitely fixed a huge issue.

Tenant insurance in Yellowknife - What You Need to Know

Tenant insurance in Yellowknife (also called renters’ insurance) is meant for people who rent the place where they live, whether home, condo, or apartment. It provides the best insurance coverage against common risks like theft, fire damage, and personal injury that occurs on the property.

Tenant insurance is necessary because a landlord’s home insurance policy won’t cover these perils on behalf of the renter.

No, tenant insurance is not required by law in Yellowknife. However, many property managers won’t lease their units without tenant insurance coverage in place.

Yes! Always consider it. If you can afford it, renters insurance is usually worth it. It will protect your belongings, provide liability coverage, and may cover your personal items when you travel. Renter's insurance protects you from a long list of perils, as well.

Yes, tenant insurance and renter’s insurance are the same. They are policies purchased by a renter to protect themselves financially.

The price of your tenant insurance in Fredericton depends on where you reside, the value of your total contents, your liability limits. Policies normally start at $300/yr and increase as the content values and liability limits increase.

Many different factors will impact the cost of your tenant insurance coverage. Here are the main ones to consider when getting a quote:


1. Property Type
2. Location
3. Personal Belongings
4. Credit Score
5. Pets
6. Living Situation
7. Insurance History
8. Applicable Discounts

Yes, tenant insurance and renter’s insurance are the same. They are policies purchased by a renter to protect themselves financially.

A landlord’s insurance policy may cover tenant damage (i.e. vandalism or accidental destruction of property). However, it depends on the policy, including factors such as the landlord’s deductible.

Typically, a tenant insurance policy covers only the policyholder’s belongings. You can purchase insurance jointly, however, but don’t assume you’re automatically covered by your housemate’s policy because you probably aren’t unless specified.
