What it is
Home contents insurance offers protection for your belongings. You'll pay a regular fee for the insurance. Then, if the items in your home are damaged, you may be able to claim money back to cover the cost of replacing them.
We encourage everyone who lives in council housing to get home contents insurance. That's because we, the council, will not cover the costs if your items - such as furniture, decorations, and other belongings - are lost due to fire, theft, vandalism, or water damage, such as burst pipes.
Insurance options
You can either:
- join the AVIVA contents insurance scheme arranged by Renfrewshire Council
