Who is covered by my home contents insurance?

Home contents insurance covers the policyholder and members of the household. That is, your:

Roommate
Girlfrind/boyfriend/spouse/partner
Children living at home

Shared houseIf you live in a shared house, it covers a maximum of three people. As long as you live at the same address, you only need to take out one home contents insurance policy.Renting a room and subletting an apartment If you sublet your entire apartment, the tenant should take out insurance, but if you just rent out a room in your apartment, where you are residing, that's another matter. Then your tenant/roommate is also covered by your home contents insurance.

What does liability insurance cover?

Liability insurance is part of home contents insurance. Liability refers to bodily injury or property damage to other people (or their stuff) as a result of your actions, at your home, and anywhere else. The insurance covers, for example, if you, as a cyclist, hit a pedestrian.
If you do not have a home contents insurance policy (which includes liability), you have to pay for the damage that you incur to the pedestrian, and this can quickly become a costly affair.

Is my roommate covered by the liability insurance?

Yes, your liability insurance is included in the basic coverage of your home contents insurance and covers up to two roommates besides yourself as a policyholder. Under these conditions, you only need to take out one home contents insurance.
If you live together with your partner, married or not, and you share the apartment with another couple, then the insurance covers all four of you.
