Frequently asked questions (FAQ)
Application
Yes, you are. Breezy Home Insurance Plan (Householder Insurance) provides protection to the householders and their household members on home contents and legal liability even when the householders do not own the property.
Liability owed by landlords and householders can differ. As a householder, you need to take out home insurance for home contents protection and other extended coverage such as personal possessions; whereas for landlords, the core protection will lie within legal liability and loss of rent compensation.
Therefore, we recommend both landlords and householders take out a home insurance for their best interests.
Liability owned by landlords and householders can differ. You are recommended to acquire Breezy Home Insurance Plan (Landlord Insurance) for more suited coverage on legal liability, loss of rent, and optional coverage on rebuilding costs. Click here for details.
