Tenant insurance can cover belongings, additional living expenses and personal liability, subject to the policy's limits, deductibles and exclusions. A landlord's property insurance generally does not insure a tenant's personal belongings. Compare the actual policy wording and quote rather than relying on a generic monthly-price estimate.
Term insurance provides coverage for a fixed period (10–30 years) at a stable premium — simpler and less expensive. Permanent insurance (whole or universal life) lasts your lifetime and includes a cash value component, but costs significantly more and is harder to compare.
Auto insurance premiums depend on your driving record, age, location, vehicle type, annual kilometres, and coverage level. Ontario, Alberta, and Atlantic provinces use private markets; BC, Manitoba, Saskatchewan, and Quebec have government-run auto insurance components.
A deductible is the amount you pay out of pocket before your insurer covers the rest. A $500 deductible on a $3,000 claim means insurance pays $2,500. Higher deductibles lower your monthly premium but increase your cost at claim time — choose based on your emergency fund size.
