Is home insurance a legal requirement in Canada?
Rounding it up
Canadians aren't required to get homeowner’s insurance if they fully own a home.
Homeowner’s insurance is usually required if you’re buying a home with a mortgage.
Homeowner’s insurance is a fantastic investment that most Canadians rely upon.
There are other types of insurance, such as tenant’s insurance, to keep in mind as well.
