🏠What does “Owner” mean on the tenant insurance form?
If you’re filling out a tenant insurance form and see a section labeled “Owner,” you might wonder what it means — especially if you're a renter.
In this context, “Owner” refers to the person applying for and holding the tenant insurance policy — not the landlord or property owner.
So, if you’re the tenant getting coverage, you are the Owner of the policy.
Although you're renting the unit, you're still the policyholder, which means the insurance is in your name. That’s why the form uses the word “Owner” — it's referring to ownership of the policy, not the property.
Full legal name
Email address
Phone number
Date of birth
History of cancellations for non-payment
Confirmation of how long you've lived at the listed address
If you live at the property and are the one signing up for coverage, you’re the Owner.
