Why home contents insurance matters

21/07/2025

Accidents and mishaps happen – even in the safest of homes. Whether it’s a burst pipe, a kitchen fire, or a break-in, home contents insurance helps protect the things that make your home your home – like furniture, electronics, clothes, and treasured items.

Protect what’s yours

We want to remind all our residents that home contents insurance isn’t included in your tenancy or lease. That means it’s up to you to arrange cover for your belongings.
