The British Columbia insurance market

British Columbia is home to roughly 5.7M residents, and about 32% of its households rent rather than own — which shapes how much renters, landlord, and homeowners coverage the province buys. The dominant local exposure is wildfire & earthquake, so property policies here are priced and written with that risk in mind. British Columbia’s Residential Tenancy Act limits security deposits to half a month’s rent.
