Off campus housing is good choice for TRU students who want the independence, freedom and privacy that Thompson Rivers University housing cannot provide. Regardless of whether you rent an apartment or home off-campus, or live in TRU residences, you’ll want to protect your valuables from theft by getting renters insurance (also known as tenant insurance).
Is your Kamloops apartment insured? If you ask the question to renters, many would guess that somehow, it is. Surely, the property owner has insurance. Although McGill Ridge Apartments (and all rental apartments) have insurance, it doesn’t cover the cost of replacing your belongings if they are lost or damaged because of theft, fire, flood or other calamities.
