My new company wants to be added as an additional interest on my renters insurance.

Hello All,

I just got hired for a remote sales gig, and my new company is requiring that I add them as an additional interest to my renters' insurance. From my research, additional interests on a policy are notified if the policy is canceled. I understand why a landlord needs to be named as an additional interest, but I don't know why my new company needs this. I asked why this is necessary, and they advised, "this is necessary so that the company's insurance can cover me in the case that something happens to me while I'm at home." Why would I need to be covered by their company when I work from home? What do you guys think?

@eirenopoioi I think your best bet would be to ask your insurance company about it. They’d probably have an answer for you
