Update the replacement-cost estimate
Added floor area, upgraded finishes and new systems can make an earlier dwelling limit obsolete. Informing the insurer helps keep the insured description accurate.
Personal insurance may not cover business exposures
Equipment, stock, client visits, professional services and commercial activity can exceed a home policy's limited business protection.
Rental use changes who occupies the property
Long-term leasing, short-term guests and occasional home sharing are not automatically interchangeable. Confirm permitted use before occupancy changes.
Check the current Yukon guidance
Insurance products, emergency programs and policy wording can change. Start with the official source and confirm the insurer contract that applies to the home.
