Condos are the future of standard homeownership, thanks to convenient locations, building amenities, and compact living spaces in bustling districts. Enjoy everything you love about condo living with insurance that protects your place up in a high-rise.
Are you renting out a room, building, or even the occasional AirBnB?
Step up your rental property’s protection. Renters insurance goes above and beyond a standard homeowner’s policy — it’s the best way to secure your property, cover damages, and guarantee long-term rental income potential.
Do you really need to protect something you don’t own? Unlike owners, tenants don’t have to worry about property maintenance and major repairs — they’re the responsibility of the landlord to do. But everything you own is yours to protect. You need tenant insurance to cover the contents of your rented home — the essentials and personal belongings you need to live.
For most Canadians, climbing the property ladder is the single largest investment they make — and the most vital to sustaining family life. More than a roof and four walls, a home is both a place and a feeling: your sanctuary and personal centre, and security and peace with the ones you love and share it with. You need to protect both — the dwelling and everything it stands for.
Whether you own or rent, live in a quiet neighbourhood or a bustling high-rise, your home — the dwelling, personal touches, and the people you share it with — requires complete protection. There is no place you and your loved ones should feel safer than your own home.

Our insurance brokers are dedicated to providing the most competitive home insurance quotes from Canada’s trusted insurance providers.

Where you live and the place you call home matters. As a homeowner, you have specific assets to protect, and a lifestyle to preserve. Enjoy peace of mind tailored to your unique home.

The truth is, an abundance of caution means you can never have too much protection. But at minimum, your home insurance should cover:
Note that the value of your home insurance coverage is determined by the current assessment on file. Renovations are not automatically covered, so speak to your Marathon broker to upgrade your home insurance policy and ensure it reflects the updated property value.
Home insurance costs vary across properties. Insurance companies factor in your property’s square footage, location, age, and the value of its contents. Our insurance brokers aim to obtain the most competitive rates for coverage that suits your lifestyle and budget.
You can save on home insurance by mitigating risks, such as installing security and fire alarms and electrical upgrades that bring your dwelling up-to-code. Marathon also offers home auto insurance bundles with generous savings.
Currently, Ontario housing laws do not require home insurance. But if you are taking out a mortgage or renting, lenders and landlords may require you to have a policy, or are more likely to approve your application with one as it demonstrates responsibility and a commitment to protecting your property.
Your home insurance coverage remains active while you’re on vacation, but you also need to avoid damage caused by negligence, such as leaving the water on for extended periods and risking burst pipes in the water. Ask someone you trust to check your property regularly while you are away. Most policies require you to inform your insurance provider if your home is unoccupied for over 30 days, as well as if the property is vacated.
