Contents Insurance for Students

Students Contents Insurance

Heading off to university or college is the start of your adult life, and one of the biggest adventures you’ll ever have. It’s an exciting time, filled with new challenges, including setting up your first independent home. Whether you’re in halls of residence or private rented accommodation, you’ll likely have your most important possessions with you.

However, communal living comes with a unique set of challenges. It means your possessions are not always as secure as you might like them to be, and if you’re in private rented accommodation then the property may not be as secure as you’d like. To help protect yourself against the cost of replacing your possessions, student contents insurance offers you a little extra peace of mind.

Students Home Insurance

Not only are you responsible for your possessions, but your landlord will expect you to take care of their property too. As a tenant, your landlord may expect you to pay for any damage to the fixture and fittings and/or any furnishing, if the property is already furnished, whether it was caused by you or one of your housemates. That may not seem fair, but it is often a stipulation of your rental agreement, especially in multi-occupancy shared accommodation.

Your landlord should have a home insurance policy that will cover the building’s structure, and may also have landlord’s insurance. However, these policies often don’t cover furnishings, which is why they will often pass on the cost of any repairs onto the tenant.

To help protect yourself against the potential financial impact of a bill from your landlord for damage to property, you should consider having student house insurance in place. Intasure’s student home insurance provides up to £4,000 towards theft and damages as well as*:
