Why Every Landlord Needs Rent & Legal Protection

The rules have changed. The risks have increased.

Even the best tenants can fall into arrears. And with legal costs for evictions often running into the thousands, one bad tenancy can wipe out your profit.

Most landlords now wait months before seeing any income again.

That’s the gap we close.

Our Rent & Legal Protection Insurance ensures you don’t lose out. If tenants stop paying, you’ll still receive your rent – and if legal action is needed, it’ll cover your costs.

Not theory. Built on what’s actually happening.

Most policies weren’t designed for this. Ours is.

→ Get paid sooner

  • Rent payments start within 30 days of claim acceptance.
  • Not after eviction. Not months later.

→ Protection that reflects real delays

  • Covers extended arrears periods.
  • Designed for Section 8 reality.
  • Built around court backlogs.

→ Protection beyond eviction

  • Up to 3 months post-possession rent.
  • Additional cover for tenant damage.

→ Legal handled end-to-end

  • Eviction managed for you.
  • No chasing solicitors.
  • No gaps between insurance and legal.
Worried about rent arrears or costly evictions? Get covered today.
