Record 5 1981-09-29

English

Subject field(s)
  • Fire, Accidents, Miscellaneous Risks (Insur.)

It should be noted that while damage to the building is covered for a Principal Residence under a Homeowners Policy, damage to building under the Tenants’ forms are generally for a limited amount as stated in the policy wording.

French

Domaine(s)
  • Incendies, accidents et risques divers (Assur.)
  • Assurances
OBS

On doit noter que le dommage fait au bâtiment couvert par une police "Propriétaire-occupant", est interprété comme le dommage causé à la résidence principale; cependant, le dommage au bâtiment sous les formules "Locataires-occupants" comporte généralement une protection limitée, tel qu'indiqué dans l'intercalaire.

Record 6 1981-09-29

English

Subject field(s)
  • Fire, Accidents, Miscellaneous Risks (Insur.)
  • Insurance
OBS

Since the introduction of policies such as the Householders, Tenants Package and Homeowners where residential theft coverage is combined with coverage for other perils, the residence theft policy as such has become almost obsolete.

French

Domaine(s)
  • Incendies, accidents et risques divers (Assur.)
  • Assurances
OBS

Depuis l'avènement des polices à protections combinées, telles que "Maître de maison", "Locataire-occupant" et "Propriétaire-occupant", où l'élément vol résidentiel est inclus avec une multitude d'autres protections, la police vol résidentiel est presque tombée en désuétude.
