Do I need Landlord Insurance?

A normal Home Insurance policy might not have all the cover you need. As a landlord, you are likely to face more risks than a regular homeowner.

For example, if your tenant was injured by a falling roof tile at your property, or a flood means they have to move and no longer pay rent. Landlord Insurance may cover you against costs like these. Read our guide to find out more

Does Landlord Insurance cover non-payment of rent?

If your tenant can’t pay rent due to an insured event, like a fire or flood, you may be covered. You won’t be covered if your tenant doesn’t pay rent for no reason. You also won’t be covered if a tenant leaves the property without warning.

How much does Landlord Insurance cost?

The cost of Landlord Insurance – also known as the premium – depends on the type and level of cover you need.

The cost can depend on lots of factors. These include:

  • The condition of the property.
  • Where the property is located.
  • How secure the property is.
  • Whether your tenant is employed.

Your Landlord Insurance premium is also worked out based on how likely you are to claim.

Does Landlord Insurance cover tenant damage?

Landlord Insurance may cover the cost of damage to both the building and any contents that comes with the property. This includes items like fridges and sofas.

You may also be covered for damage done by accident. This depends on your level of cover. This means you might be able to claim if a tenant smashes a window by mistake, for example.
