- Home Insurance – Homeowner’s insurance is for the entire building and the items within it. It helps cover the cost of repairing or replacing any potential loss you may experience over the course of being a homeowner. This can include damage inflicted by weather, stolen items, if someone is hurt on your property or if you accidentally hurt someone else’s property.
- Condo Insurance – Is for your specific unit and the contents within it, plus any storage space included with your unit like a storage locker. It also includes personal liability in the instance that someone is hurt while on your property. It does not include the condo structure. If a pipe breaks in the basement or the roof starts leaking, this would not be covered through condo insurance.
- Tenant Insurance – Otherwise known as renter’s insurance, covers the cost of insuring your personal belongings and the items in your vehicle like a car seat while renting someone else’s property. Most landlord’s will request tenet’s to have this insurance as a condition of the lease.

What Impacts the Cost of Home Insurance in Alberta?
When looking at attaining the best insurance rates there are several factors that Rogers McLean Shaw home insurance brokers consider when building a quote, including:
- Your home’s age
- Your home’s location
- The type of home you own, and the building materials used to construct it
- Your insurance history
- Your coverage options
- Your home’s damage protection and security systems
It’s important to always be honest with a broker when discussing your home insurance needs. For instance, if you know that the area you live in is susceptible to flooding, you should tell your broker. Or saying that you have a security system when you don’t, can void your insurance if your house is broken into.
