Spilled wine or lost keys?
With the optional Homelike Standard packages, you are fully-insured by AXA.
100% protection.
Backed by AXA.
Together with AXA, we have developed a unique policy solution that is available exclusively to tenants and landlords at Homelike.
When you move into a furnished apartment for a fixed period or rent it out, your own household contents or personal liability insurance may not apply in the event of damage.
The insurance coverage we have developed is tailored to the concept of furnished living. That’s why we recommend all tenants to book the Homelike Standard package with their furnished apartment to avoid high costs in case of damage.
As a Homelike landlord, you automatically benefit from our landlord insurance.
Why you should add insurance coverage to your furnished apartments as a Homelike tenant.
Most personal liability insurances only cover certain damages in additional clauses. AXA tenant insurance is part of the optional Homelike Standard package. These can also be selected for each rental application.
The tenant insurance is automatically valid according to the online rental agreement and for a period of up to one year. This ensures that you are adequately insured for accidents that may occur during your rental period in your furnished apartment.¹
Case 1: A lost key
You come home from work in the evening and realize: your key is missing! You look in all your pockets and think about whether you may have forgotten it somewhere. But it’s gone. Now the locksmith must come and let you into the apartment.
Unfortunately, this is not enough, as all locks must be replaced if a key is lost. This can then not only be the lock to your apartment, but also all entrance doors and intermediate doors to which you have access, which can lead to very high costs that your private liability probably does not bear.
Estimated cost: €5,000
With AXA: Key damage (e.g. loss) insured up to €10,000.
Please note that you have to pay the locksmith to open the door yourself, but the expensive follow-up costs, such as changing the lock, will be covered.
Case 2: Damaged flooring
You have finally arrived in your furnished apartment and are exhausted on the couch. As you look around the apartment, you notice that your suitcase has left some scratches on the hardwood floor. You take pictures of the damage and report it to the landlord.
Unfortunately, it is not possible to simply replace the damaged area of hardwood flooring, as the wood naturally changes color and you can see when a new area is added. In most cases, this means the entire hardwood floor has to be replaced, which increases the costs you have to bear enormously.
Estimated cost: €7,000
With AXA: Damage caused by a fault (no intent) up to €10,000 per claim or €30,000 per rental.
Case 3: Water damage
You arrive at your furnished apartment and the whole living room is underwater. It drips out of the ceiling onto your laptop, which has become unusable due to the water damage.
A burst pipe can occur in any apartment and must be taken care of by the landlord. However, your laptop is a personal belonging, which you bring into the apartment.
This means the landlord does not have to reimburse the costs incurred and the damage is only covered by a suitable household goods insurance or the Homelike Standard or Premium tenant insurance.
Estimated cost: €1,500
With AXA: Personal belongings (e.g. Laptop, cell phones) are insured up to 5,000 EUR in the event of damage caused by fire, burglary, water and storm.
¹A deductible of €250 applies and the principle of subsidiarity, i.e. insurance cover only applies if corresponding damage is not covered by your private insurance.
