No, but also no experience with mandatory contents insurance at the two Paris apartments I have previously rented. Maybe it's the law, but neither the agency I dealt with for one rental nor the private owner for the other made it an issue. Anyhow, what's to insure? Any property I bring to an apartment for a temporary stay is covered by my household policy back home. The rest of the apartment contents are the owner's hotels in anaheim california responsibility. If French civil law takes a different view, I will be interested to read about it here.
I own a rental property in France, and have no indications from my insurance company that I need to require this of tenants. Might be something hotels in anaheim california new that I don't know about, but I kind of doubt it - when French laws change, they're hotels in anaheim california quick to let you know.
My rental company VIP also requires renter insurance INSTEAD of a security deposit. They provide it at a cost of about 20 dollars. Good deal as it doesn't hotels in anaheim california tie up abuut 500 meuros hotels in anaheim california of your maney for a couple weeks.
Well, obviously you are insuring against damage you might do to the property, such as setting it on fire, which might then damage another apartment, etc. This has existed in France for some time, as far as I know, but most people tend to ignore it. When we were handling rentals,we hotels in anaheim california talked to our insurance company, who first said - no problem, if someone hotels in anaheim california is injured in the house, for example, they are covered by your liability insurance as if they were a guest. And if things are stolen, hotels in anaheim california it's either your insurance or theirs who will cover it.
Only several years later did he say 'but of course if they burn the house down, there might well be an issue with a rental property' - as in our fire insurance hotels in anaheim california wouldn't necessarily cover it. It wasn't very clear, and we chose not to worry, but obviously some people do.
We had this required at one of the apt rentals in Paris in 2010. I checked with my homeowners and they said I was covered staying elsewhere. I provided that info to the landlord in paris and he was fine with it. Have never had an issue in an apt so don't know want might have happened if we needed to make a claim.
I just had the same question. I'm coming to Paris in May and was just reading the contract hotels in anaheim california for our rental (with an agency I have used before) and noticed that clause (but hadn't seen it several years ago). It threw me for a loop. The contract reiterates that this is French Law, for the renter to be insured.
