TORONTO, July 12, 2017 /CNW/ - With the summer in full swing, leading home and auto insurer RSA Canada is urging those renting a cottage this season to make sure they know what is and isn't protected by their insurance.
RSA's communications and media relations manager, Brodie Bott, says there are a few things renters can do to ensure their summer cottage vacation or getaway is enjoyable.
"It's important that those renting a cottage are doing so from a reputable source," Bott says. "Ask for reviews from prior customers as well as any provincial or municipal affiliations."
He also suggests renters confirm that the owner has insurance on the property. "A loss to the building, as well as the safety of you and your guests is the owner's responsibility," says Bott.
Other things to remember when it comes to renting a cottage, include:
"It's equally important that renters abide by the terms of the rental agreement, particularly the rules around the legal number of persons occupying the property, any requirements around clean-up and the owner's policy on pets, to ensure they are covered should anything go awry," Bott says.
