We appreciate the time and effort it takes to find the right tenant(s) and the need to protect rental income for the property. However, sometimes, circumstances out of a tenant’s control, such as redundancy, may result in a rent default. It is at this point that a rent protection insurance such as landlord rent guarantee insurance can make all the difference. Because we understand this, we have created a policy that caters to a variety of events.
Rent Guarantee Insurance is an important insurance policy for many landlords who want rental income protection. Landlord insurance rent guarantee and legal expenses is a perfect combination for any professional landlord and provides cover if your residential tenant defaults or fails to pay the rent.
Other benefits are:
For this insurance to be valid, your tenant(s) must have passed the relevant referencing process in advance. This includes proof of earnings and affordability, proof of ID and a credit check indicating no CCJs in the last three years.

If a tenant already occupies the property and you want to take out the policy after the tenancy has started, there will be a 90-day exclusion period before a claim can be submitted.
