As a tenant, you are responsible for the property and its contents during the rental period. If something breaks or is damaged, it is your responsibility to fix it. To avoid financial worries, it is therefore important that you have valid insurance that covers any damage.
Do I need home insurance as a tenant?
When you rent a home, it is important to have valid home insurance. Whether or not the landlord has home insurance, you as a tenant should take out your own. There is a risk that the landlord's insurance will not cover you, your belongings, or damage you are deemed responsible for. To avoid problems and ensure a secure stay, it is therefore essential to have valid home insurance.

What do I do if damage occurs in the home I'm renting?
If damage occurs in the home during the rental period, you should contact your landlord and inform them of the damage. Your landlord will in turn contact Qasa, who will assess whether the deposit covers the damage or whether it is an insurance matter.
