Tenant’s liability<\/strong> is the cornerstone of your home insurance in Quebec<\/strong>: it protects you against the recourse of the landlord and neighbours when you cause unintentional damage \u2014 water damage<\/strong>, fire,<\/strong> a fall of a guest. Without it, your personal assets (salary, RRSP, savings) can be seized to repay hundreds of thousands of dollars. In Montreal<\/strong>, Quebec City<\/strong> or Laval<\/strong>, a simple leaking dishwasher can generate $25,000 in claims from the neighbor downstairs. It’s not a question of whether<\/em> you’ll ever be held liable, but how much<\/em> will it cost you at that time \u2014 and that’s exactly what this guide tells you: who pays what, how much RCA to choose, and how to activate your coverage. <\/p>\n\n
