Tenants Contents Insurance

Many tenants do not realize when renting a property that they may not be covered under their Landlord's content insurance for theft, fire or damage caused to their own goods. It is important to take adequate steps to protect your personal contents and valuables by taking out contents insurance cover as soon as possible. Please note most policies also cover accidental damage to the landlords property thereby protecting your security deposit from deductions for damages, for example spillage of wine on the landlords carpet which cannot be removed by steam cleaning.

Comprehensive insurance specifically designed to meet the needs of tenants of rented property should cover the following:• Household goods
• Furniture
• Personal effects
• Valuables, lost or stolen money up to £200
• Perils, of fire, smoke, lightning, earthquake, explosion, escape of water or heating oil, flood, riots, malicious damage, theft, subsidence, heave or landslip, falling trees, impact by vehicles, aircraft or animals.
• Malicious damage and vandalism.
• Replacement locks due to loss of keys.
• Accidental loss or damage to TV, Radios, Hi-fi, Video or Aerial.
• Alternative accommodation and rent legally due.
• Occupiers and personal liability.
• Documents deeds.
• Accidental damage.
• Fatal injury.
• Cover on a new for old basis.
• Automatic cover for up to £40,000 of costs.
