Home Contents Insurance

Are you covered?

living room with flood showing sofa floating Christian Action Housing insures the structure of your home but does not cover your personal possessions.We strongly recommend that you insure your belongings against theft, fire and water damage. You should also insure against accidental damage that you may unintentionally cause, for example, as a result of a washing machine flooding. 

Why do I need it?

As noted above, Christian Action Housing does not cover your contents as part of the tenancy agreement. It’s a good idea to consider what a home contents insurance policy would cover you for in order to help you make an informed decision on whether you need one.

Contents insurance is designed to help protect your possessions. No matter how careful you are, there’s always a risk that your belongings could be broken, damaged or stolen so home contents insurance can help provide peace of mind.
