Home insurance

You don’t have to insure your furniture, apartment, or home, but it is strongly recommended. Otherwise, you may find yourself in a tight spot if you are the victim of a theft or fire. Furthermore, if you are responsible for a fire in the building where you live, you may be liable for any damages caused to the building and the other tenants’ property.

Brokers and private insurance companies offer a range of fire, theft, and civil liability coverage. Insurance brokers are professionals who provide free assistance in finding coverage best suited to your needs.
