Is a housing (fire) insurance mandatory?
Not always, but sometimes. For example, upon the purchase or rental of a home. When you rent an apartment, the building is often covered by the landlord’s insurance policy. In that case, it’s important to have your own liability coverage for the building and to insure the contents of your home. It’s especially important to check that you are not under-insured to avoid any bad surprise at the settlement of the claim.
-
Which types of proof and documents are requested to get reimbursed in the event of a damage or theft of goods or objects?
It’s important to demonstrate the value of the stolen or damaged goods or objects after a break-in or in the case of material damages for example. Keep the proof of purchase of the things you value (ask for an invoice, a certificate, a ticket, even if these are presents that were given to you). It might sound a bit daring and rude, but it’s essential. Take some photos too. This will not only enable the insurer to define the value of objects in the event of damage or theft, but will also allow to check that you are sufficiently insured to cover your belongings.
