Hana is going to rent an unfurnished flat. The landlord asks her for a certificate of home insurance. Is this compulsory?
In the exam (French)
Hana va louer un appartement vide. Le propriétaire lui demande une attestation d'assurance habitation. Est-ce obligatoire ?
- aNo, it is the landlord who must insure the whole home that he rents out.Non, c'est au propriétaire d'assurer tout le logement qu'il met en location.
- bYes, the tenant must insure the home they rent.Oui, le locataire doit assurer le logement qu'il loue.Correct answer
- cNo, home insurance is only recommended.Non, l'assurance habitation est seulement conseillée.
- dYes, but only if the tenant has children.Oui, mais seulement si le locataire a des enfants.
Why?
A tenant must insure their home at least against the risks linked to renting: fire, water damage, explosion. They give a certificate to the landlord when they receive the keys, and then every year. This is an obligation set by the law on residential leases.
