What do I need to know about Tenant and Renters Insurance?

Our thoughts and prayers go out to everyone impacted by the extreme weather conditions across the country and a special thank you to all the emergency personnel helping save lives and properties. If you don’t have tenant or home insurance, you should probably look into it. We’ve heard some horror stories from some of our group members in certain parts of Canada that have experienced property damage recently, so we wanted to give you an idea of things you need to consider when shopping around for insurance.
