Why Every Landlord Needs Rent & Legal Protection

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.

What’s Included in Your Cover?

Unpaid Rent Protection – up to £5,000 per month until possession is regained.
Legal Expenses – up to £100,000 for eviction, court fees, and enforcement.
Vacancy Rent Cover – full rent until vacant possession (12-month policies).
Partial Vacancy Cover – 75% rent for up to 3 months where applicable.
Tailored Options – cover designed for standard and high-value rentals.

“Already dealing with arrears? See our Step-by-Step Guide to Tenants Not Paying Rent for immediate advice.”

Why It Matters Now

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.
