You need home insurance regardless of whether you rent or sub-let an apartment in the first or second hand, are a resident, live in a student residence or your own house. If there are more of you who share the apartment / house, enter all the names and the insurance applies to all. Home insurance usually applies in the event of fire, burglary, assault, legal protection and travel.
You can also order supplementary insurance, so-called drulle insurance, which applies if you yourself happen to damage something. Deductible applies to all damages. Check the terms and conditions carefully with the insurance companies. If you have a condominium, you can take out a condominium supplement that covers any damage to the apartment.
