I just moved in with my partner. Are my things covered by their policy?
Home
Often, yes. In most policies, a spouse living under the same roof as the insured is one of the “insureds”. Tell the insurer anyway: the amount for belongings has to cover both of yours. Check the definition of “insured” in the policy.
A general answer. Your policy always has the final say.
