A HOMEis a place of residence or refuge and comfort. It is usually a place in which an individual or a family can rest and be able to store personal property.

Can I get home contents insurance if my landlady works from home?
Q. My landlady teaches piano from home as a full time job, would I be able to get contents insurance? I went to an online insurance site and it said I would have to call them if I share my home with renters/lodgers (which I do) and also it assumes that 'You do not use your home for any business purposes or for the storage of business goods'. What insurance would I need or would it be my landlady's responsibility to get cover? Could I be included in her insurance?

A. The concept of health insurance was proposed in 1694 by Hugh the Elder Chamberlen from the Peter Chamberlen family. In the late 19th century, "accident insurance" began to be available, which operated much like modern disability insurance.This payment model continued until the start of the 20th century in some jurisdictions (like California), where all laws regulating health insurance actually referred to disability insurance.

A home is a place of residence or refuge and comfort. It is usually a place in which an individual or a family can rest and be able to store personal property.

Sourced

  • Home is where the heart is.
    • Ancient saying, reported at least as early as 1847, in Joseph C. Neal, "Singleton Snippe. Who Married for a Living", Graham's Magazine (1847), p. 166: "Home is where the heart is; and Snippe's heart was a traveler—a locomotive heart, perambulating; and it had no tendencies toward circumscription and confine".
  • A man's house is his castle — et domus sua cuique est tutissimum refugium.
    • Edward Coke, The First Part of the Institutes of the Laws of England, or, A Commentary on Littleton (London, 1628, ed. F. Hargrave and C. Butler, 19th ed., London, 1832), Third Institute, p. 162. The exact translation of the Latin portion is: "and where shall a man be safe if it be not in his own house?", quoted from Pandects, lib. ii. tit. iv. De in Jus vocando.
  • Home is home, though it be never so homely.
    • English proverb, reported in John Clarke, Paræmiologia (1639), p. 101.
  • 'Mid pleasures and palaces though we may roam, Be it ever so humble, there 's no place like home; A charm from the skies seems to hallow us there, Which sought through the world is ne'er met with elsewhere.
    • John Howard Payne, Home, Sweet Home (1822), from the opera of "Clari, the Maid of Milan"
  • Sitting with my gin or whisky afterwards I would often manage to get into conversation with some lonely man or other – usually an exile like myself – and the talk would be about the world, air-routes and shipping-lines, drinking-places thousands of miles away. Then I felt happy, felt I had come home, because home to people like me is not a place but all places, all places except the one we happen to be in at the moment.
