Should we get insurance when renting a home?
When you’re hashtag#rentingahouse, it can be easy to think of insurance as your landlord’s problem.
You’re just the hashtag#tenant, right?
It’s important to remember that while you don’t own the place you call home, it’s filled with all your stuff 📺📸💿📱🚲⛷️🏂🏌️🏄🏋️👕👖👢👜🏏🏒🎹🥁🖥️(you get the picture) – and that stuff could cost a lot to replace if the worst happens.
For example, if there’s a big fire 🔥, the landlord’s insurance will cover the structural damage to the home but it won’t cover the loss of your clothes, electronics, furniture or anything else you had inside at the time.
That’s where contents insurance comes in.👍 Start by calculating your laptop, smartphone and clothes, plus any big electrical appliances (like a TV or washing machine). Even the cost of replacing your bed, sheets, duvet and pillows might make you wince.
If the thought of having to replace all those items with your own savings sounds painful, insurance might be worth it for you, after all.

This winter it's crucial to stop the spread of germs to stay healthy!
Is your home contributing to poor health? This winter, it's important to address the spread of germs within your living space.
Throughout each room of your home, there’s an opportunity for germs to spread and bacteria to grow.
That might sound pretty gross – a simple yet effective solution is to let fresh air
Let fresh air into your home
Open up your doors and windows every day, even if it’s cold. Ideally morning and night.
Mould has been linked to nasal congestion, wheezing, chest tightness, coughing, throat irritation, reduced lung function and chronic health problems.
But if you don’t want to leave your house open for a long time in the cool weather, it’s good to know that it doesn’t take much time to make a healthy difference to your home.
If you open a window widely and open a door, it can take as little as two minutes to exchange the air in that room. If you just do a lap to open up every door and window, and then turn around to do another lap to close everything up again – you have a house full of fresh air.
Keep your home fresh and healthy with this simple tips!
