# 🏠 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.

### What does “Owner” mean in tenant insurance?

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.

### Why does it say “Owner” if I’m just renting?

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.

### Information typically required under “Owner”:

* 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

### Still unsure who the Owner should be?

If you live at the property and are the one signing up for coverage, you’re the Owner.
