Common Room Insurance for Events

Renting out your common rooms to tenants or community groups for one-time events like parties or meetings  is a great way to bolster community spirit in your buildings, but it can put your organization (or the event hosts) at risk if anything goes wrong. You may be liable for injuries, damage, or deaths that could occur as a result of events in your common room. This can result in increased insurance premiums for your organization and legal costs.

Common Room Insurance offered by HSC and Marsh Canada helps you protect yourself from liability during one off special events and ensures that party hosts are protected as well.

Available exclusively to members of HSC Group Insurance Program, housing providers can require Common Room Insurance when you rent out your common rooms.

Benefits:

  • Tenants or non-tenants hosting events are insured against lawsuits arising from the event
  • Housing providers are automatically added as an additional insured. This means that even if a lawsuit is filed, your building insurance coverage and record won’t be affected
  • All events get $2M in coverage at a $500 deductible, rates are then tailored to the size, duration and type of event so hosts only pay for the risk coverage they need

Our Common Room Insurance covers events on your property that are both indoors and out. Examples include:

  • Common room events serving alcohol or not
  • Bingo, bridge or movie nights
  • Family celebrations or receptions
  • Community dinners, craft shows or bazaars
  • Meetings, workshops or classes (no alcohol served)
  • Outdoor barbeques and picnics (no alcohol served)
  • Religious services and ceremonies

Some exclusions and conditions apply. A longer list of eligible events is available by calling Marsh.
