Personal Insurance in Ontario

Personal insurance protects what matters most: your home, vehicle, belongings, and your financial security. Whether you own a home, rent an apartment, drive a car, or own a seasonal property, having the right coverage ensures that unexpected events—such as fire, theft, water damage, or accidents—don’t turn into financial setbacks. Chris Pui Insurance Broker helps Ontario residents find tailored personal insurance policies that fit their needs and lifestyle.

Why Personal Insurance is Essential

While some risks are predictable, many are not. Even minor accidents can result in major expenses, including liability claims, property repair, or replacement costs. Personal insurance provides a safety net, giving you peace of mind and protecting your assets. For example, a water pipe burst in a condo or basement apartment can cause thousands of dollars in damage, but proper insurance coverage ensures you aren’t personally responsible for the full cost.

Types of Personal Insurance

Personal insurance in Ontario typically includes:

  • Home & Property Insurance: Coverage for your dwelling, detached structures, and personal belongings.
  • Condo Insurance: Protects unit owners’ personal property, upgrades, and liability beyond the condominium corporation’s policy.
  • Tenant (Renter’s) Insurance: Safeguards your belongings and liability as a renter.
