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.
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.
With the Renters’ Rights Bill set to ban “no-fault” evictions (Section 21 notice) and tighten rules on rent increases, landlords face more hurdles than ever. Rent & Legal Protection gives you a safety net in a shifting legal landscape.
“Already dealing with arrears? See our Step-by-Step Guide to Tenants Not Paying Rent for immediate advice.”
