Owner (non-renting out) / Occupier / Tenant

Rest easy knowing that your home contents are protected 24/7, no matter where you are

You may be surprised by how much your home contents are actually worth! Valuable items such as your laptop, game consoles, luxury bags and watches will be covered by home insurance in the event that something happens to them.

And as a tenant, you may be liable for any damage done to your landlord's possessions—especially any fixtures and fittings, which can be relatively expensive.

So it's smart to protect yourself before it becomes a high financial and emotional cost. After all, with a premium of as low as HKD576 for the first-year policy, you could insure your home contents for up to HKD300,000 and your personal liability for up to HKD10 million.

Landlord (renting out)

Enjoy hassle-free personal liability and protection against loss of rent from HKD448 per year

ResidenceSurance protects your rental income by providing coverage for loss of rent of up to HKD75,000 if the premises are uninhabitable because of accidental loss of or damage to household contents (not including valuables, personal computer and personal effects), or for rental default of up to HKD25,000 per month if your tenant does not pay the outstanding rent under the tenancy agreement within 1 month after a court judgment is obtained.

ResidenceSurance also covers the furniture, electrical appliances and the fixtures and fittings installed by you, the property developer or previous property owner in the rental unit. The liability coverage can protect you from liability due to bodily injury or property damage to third party arising from the rental property.

These two policies are different. ResidenceSurance protects household contents inside the home, such as furniture, electrical appliances, fixtures and fittings installed by you or your family members (including those from the property developer or previous property owner except for Plan 1), etc., and personal belongings such as jewellery and laptop computer when you’re out of home. Fire insurance covers building structures such as walls, windows, ceiling, floor and pipes.

And so, the covers are complementary with each other. For comprehensive protection, you should consider buying both insurance policies.

In the event of a burst pipe, ResidenceSurance will cover:

24-hour emergency assistance service;
loss or damage of your household contents;
loss or damage of fixtures and fittings installed by you or your family members (All plans) or by property developer or previous property owner (except Plan 1);
cost of reasonable temporary accommodation if your home is uninhabitable due to damage of your household contents;
cost of temporary storage of your furniture (e.g. mini-storage fee);
pipe repair cost (except for the pipes installed by property developer/previous property owner in Plan 1) and its bursting is caused by accidental damage such as during renovation works (but not by wear and tear due to aging of the pipe) not specifically excluded under the policy. The relevant repair cost of the pipe will only be covered if there is proof of accidental damage provided by you;
liability to third party. If the water from the burst pipe damages property of a third party, e.g. the residential unit downstairs, your personal liability for such damage will also be covered if you are held legally liable for the situation (e.g. you are held negligent by the court for not taking immediate actions to stop the water flow as soon as the water pipe burst is discovered).

In addition to the benefits on accidental damage and loss of household contents caused by typhoon or rainstorm, ResidenceSurance provides alternative accommodation up to HKD10,000 (HKD2,000 per day) which depends on the plan you choose, if there is suspension of electricity or water supply at your Home for 24 consecutive hours because of typhoon signal no.8 or above or black rainstorm.
