The importance of tenant insurance
Whether you own a rental property or are a renter yourself, tenant insurance is an essential layer of protection. While it isn’t legally required in British Columbia, landlords can face serious financial or legal consequences if their tenant doesn’t have coverage — even if the tenant is responsible for the loss. Many landlords now include tenant insurance as a condition in lease agreements to help protect their property and avoid unexpected risks.
If you'd like to learn more about how tenant insurance can protect both landlords and renters, we’ve created a helpful PowerPoint presentation.

If you are anticipating a large financial event that will bring you new liquid wealth, you might be considering giving back to your community or causes you are passionate about. Examples of such events include the sale of a business, taking your business public, cashing in stock options, selling a valuable real estate asset, receiving a large inheritance or winning the lottery. These financial events can be overwhelming and often involve complex legal and tax considerations.
This article explores some things to think about if you’re considering donating some of
your wealth to causes that are important to you
