Party Game:
What Kind of
Host Are You?
With barbecue season approaching,
renters need to protect themselves
and their possessions every bit as
much as homeowners. Yet according
to Statistics Canada, fewer than
half of Canadians who rent have
insurance for the unexpected.
Many are under the mistaken
impression that their landlord's
policy covers them. But renters
need their own, especially when
it comes to the season of warm
weather get-togethers – and
potential injury to visitors. That's
right: as a renter or homeowner,
you're responsible for the safety
of your guests. Surprised? Read
on and take our quiz to learn your
hosting personality – low, medium
or high risk – then judge for
yourself if it's worth going without
protection (spoiler alert: it's not).
