What is liability insurance?

In the basic, this is one more insurance type that is pretty beloved in Germany. Haftpflichtversicherung – don’t forget this word, because you might be asked about this insurance more than you could think.

But not without the reason liability insurance is beloved and often asked in Germany. It is actually very good and useful insurance protecting you! Mieterhaftpflichtversicherung covers you and your family (your furry friend too) if you have damaged property (TV, sofa, phone, carpet…) of someone else.

Why do tenants need to have liability insurance?

Because it’s a very easy and safe way to protect yourself! Does there need to be any other good reason? Well, let’s dig a little bit deeper.

Renting a furnished apartment means living in someone’s apartment and being responsible for everything inside the house. There is furniture, deco’s and electronics that the landlord has bought for the flat. No one would like to damage another person’s property, but let’s stay real – things happen! Unfortunately, not always happen only good things!

Your children while running around the flat hit the TV and it fell, your dog found the sofa very tasty and tried to eat it on the dinner, but your beloved one left the roof window open when it was raining and now water spots are ruining the flooring. Things happen but liability insurance may help.

With Mieterhaftpflichtversicherung you can feel safe if something goes wrong. You won’t also ruin the relationship with the landlord or housing agency.
