Why is Property Insurance Cover required?

If you are the owner of a property that you want to rent there is no legal requirement for you to have landlord insurance or even buildings cover. However, if you have a mortgage on your property, your lender may stipulate that you have insurance cover.

Although many landlords assume that their conventional home insurance policy will also cover rental activities, this is not usually the case. Standard home insurance is not designed to protect rental properties, and as a landlord you should consider dedicated landlord insurance to give you the protection you need.

Although not mandatory, a good landlord insurance policy does not just include buildings cover. It can also offer public and property owners’ liability cover, cover for alternative accommodation (covers the cost of rehousing your tenants on a temporary basis if your property becomes uninhabitable due to an insured loss, for example a fire or flood costs.

You may also consider taking out loss of rent cover. This could pay out a monthly rent (from 12 to 36 months) in the event that your property was unfit to live in or access to the property is denied as a result of some kind of catastrophic event. Other covers include glass and locks replacement, contents insurance, Accidental Damage cover, Terrorism, Legal Expenses and Liability protection.

You should remember that although landlord insurance is not compulsory, there are several legal requirements associated with renting your property that you will need to adhere to. One of these is a gas safety regulation, which obliges a landlord to get a gas safety certificate every year.
