Introduction
Renting in Saskatchewan—whether in Regina, Saskatoon, or smaller communities—often means your landlord’s policy won’t protect your belongings or your liability. Summit’s student‑friendly tenant insurance starts from $18/month and typically includes personal property, personal liability, and additional living expenses (ALE). As an independent Canadian brokerage, Summit compares multiple insurers to curate the right fit and price for you. Summit also maintains a local presence in Regina and Saskatoon, and can be reached for contact and claims inquiries.

What’s included (typical)
-
Personal property: Helps replace your clothes, furniture, electronics, and other belongings after covered losses (e.g., fire, theft), subject to policy limits and deductibles.
-
Personal liability: Helps cover injury or third‑party property damage you’re legally responsible for (e.g., a kitchen fire that damages the unit or water damage to a neighbour’s suite).
-
Additional living expenses (ALE): Helps pay for temporary accommodations and extra costs if a covered loss makes your home uninhabitable.
-
Optional add‑ons (when available): Higher limits, lower deductibles, scheduled items, and other endorsements tailored to landlord requirements or school housing rules.
Note: Exact coverage, limits, and exclusions vary by insurer. Your final policy wording governs.
