Nisha left for work at 8am.
When she came home, her apartment was flooded.
The washing machine had leaked for hours. Soaked floors. Warped furniture. Ruined electronics.
She called me: "My landlord's building insurance doesn't cover my belongings. I've lost everything."
This is what most expats discover: **Your landlord's insurance covers the building. Not a single thing inside it.**
Your sofa. Your laptop. Your TV. Your clothes. Your jewellery.
All uninsured. Unless YOU have a Hausratversicherung.
Nisha had one. With Generali.
Every damaged piece replaced — at full new value.
Her total loss? Over €8,000.
Her payout? Every euro covered. Even though she left the machine running — Generali covers gross negligence.
Her out-of-pocket cost? Zero.
