Good questions.
Worth asking.
Does my landlord’s insurance replace tenant insurance?
The landlord’s policy generally focuses on its own property and responsibilities. Ask separately about your belongings, liability and additional living expenses.
Will my roommate’s policy include me?
Check the named insured and household definitions directly. Do not assume every resident or every resident’s possessions are included.
Are temporary living expenses unlimited?
Read the trigger, eligible costs, amount and time conditions. Ask the provider what approval and receipts are required for a particular situation.
