Why millenials need tenants’ insurance

1 March 2022

Did You Know? The number of 20-39 year olds renting has more than doubled since 2000. Known as ‘generation rent’, many millennials are unable to afford the average house price, which continues to grow each year. Until homeownership becomes more attainable, consider purchasing tenants’ insurance to avoid suffering devastating losses and to ensure that you can amass enough savings to purchase a home.

Why Millennials Need Tenants’ Insurance

Nearly 60 per cent of millennials say they don’t have tenants’ insurance, according to recent research. Even worse—over 40 per cent say they don’t know whether insurers even offer products for tenants.
For young people struggling with financial adversity, insurance is probably the last thing on their minds. However, the possibility of a costly loss due to a fire, theft or host of other reasons is no less relevant to millennials.
In fact, it may be even more so—when asked in a recent survey about their number one reason for not buying insurance, only 18 per cent of millennials reported feeling safe and secure in their flats.

To help keep your possessions safe, consider purchasing tenants’ insurance. Tenants’ insurance covers possessions within a home should they become damaged.

Without insurance, you have to pay out of pocket if your mobile or computer is damaged in situations such as a fire. By purchasing tenants’ insurance, you can protect yourself from huge losses

Acquiring tenants’ insurance is a cost-effective measure that can help you grow your savings in anticipation of eventually owning a home in the future.
