Does Walnut Cover My Roommate as Well?

At this time, Walnut insurance policies are issued on an individual basis. This means that your roommate cannot be added to your existing policy.

Why Individual Coverage Matters

Having separate policies ensures that each tenant has the protection tailored to their specific needs. It also avoids complications when filing claims, since coverage is linked directly to the named certificate holder (you) — not the household as a whole.

What Should Roommates Do?

If your roommate doesn’t yet have coverage, they can easily apply for their own tenant insurance policy through Walnut. The process is fast, fully online, and offers affordable monthly rates with flexible coverage options.

Does Walnut Cover My Spouse as Well?

Yes! Walnut automatically covers spouses and dependents under the same policy, so you don’t need to take any extra steps to add them.

If you or your roommate have any questions about getting started, Walnut’s support team is happy to help.
