Rent Guarantee Insurance
As unpaid rents and evictions reach an all-time high, landlords wishing to escape the constant worry of whether next month’s rent will arrive are turning to rent guarantee and landlords legal expenses insurance.
What is rent guarantee insurance?
Any Landlord who lets a property runs the risk of rent default by the tenant. Even good references cannot predict a tenant falling on hard times and not being able to pay the rent. It can take months, sometimes years to evict a tenant so rent guarantee insurance could be what you need to put your mind at rest. Unpaid rents are causing serious problems to landlords and the problem is deteriorating. With evictions at record levels, the financial implications for a landlord not being paid rent are worrying. Despite the upturn in the economy, personal finances have a long way to go and with firms still failing and staff becoming unemployed it is easy for a person to fall into difficulty and rent arrears.
Rent Guarantee Insurance is the easy and cost effective way to financially protect against rent defaults. A Rent Guarantee Insurance policy, taken out alongside our landlords insurance, can provide real peace of mind, and the full cost is tax deductible against rental income – saving even more money!
