THIS INSURANCE PACKAGE’S GOT YOU AND YOUR HOME COVERED

- Com.ph/homesecuri­ty.

It’s been a misconcept­ion that only home owners can avail themselves of insurance. But truth be told, even rented homes can get non-life insurance especially since protecting one’s dwelling space is important for all.

On the other hand, some home insurance products cover only accidents involving fire, inclusive only of the damaged area and not the destroyed belongings.

Most home renters, on the other hand, ignore getting an insurance at all and assume that their landlords have most likely insured the property already.

Security for rented homes

AXA Philippine­s, one of the country’s leading insurance providers, helps support the safety of homeowners and tenants with AXA Home Security, a comprehens­ive insurance package that protects the home, its contents and the people living in the unit.

Nandy Villar, AXA Philippine­s Chief Customer Officer, shared that being secure isn’t only about having a physical home to stay safe and well in: “With AXA Home Security, we offer a comprehens­ive insurance product that covers not just the structure of our homes. Homeowners and tenants are also insured against damage within the house, caused by both minor and more severe incidents. This helps them feel more secure and protected, allowing them to truly see their homes as a safe haven for themselves and their loved ones,”

The insurance package aims to protect properties against physical damage and losses from natural or man-made incidents and calamities such as fire, earthquake, typhoon, flood, riot, strike, and malicious damage, to name a few.

Life and non-life insurance

The coverage extends to include family personal accident insurance, household helper cover, personal liability, accidental breakage of fixed mirrors, robbery, burglary, and many more. For those who are renting their home, this product also covers rent and relocation expenses for tenants. Home Security also has a one-time reimbursem­ent of up to P5,000 until 31 December for cleaning and sanitation services if a family member tests positive for Covid-19.

Policy holders are also protected by the personal accident insurance component, in case of accidental death or permanent disablemen­t. This benefit applies to the policyhold­er’s spouse and up to three children, or to their parents and siblings if they are single. It also covers medical reimbursem­ent if injured by accident, as well as burial assistance. The insurance also extends to the household help, providing coverage for personal accident and property damage of up to three of your household helpers.

The insurance package also makes sure that in the event of lawsuits against the home owner, tenant or household within the premises of the property, the personal liability benefit of Home Security pays for any claims and incurred legal expenses to defend you from liabilitie­s and medical expenses.
