Tenants Contents Insurance

As a renter, making sure your valuables and possessions are safe in your new home is key. It’s so exciting moving into a new home and finding a new place for all your possessions.

This is a chance to make a house and home and put your stamp on it. Even if you are moving into a fully furnished house or flat – your pictures, your vases, your mugs, your TV, your laptop, your kayak, your pram, your slow cooker, your golf clubs… the list of what is actually yours is endless.

Monthly rolling plan

Our tenants’ insurance covers your belongings on a rolling month by month basis. So, as well as not being tied into an annual policy (because who knows when your plans might change and you need to move out of the property), it gives you complete peace of mind, from the day your policy begins, to the day you decide to cancel it, or you no longer need it.

Maybe you are renting while you wait for a house sale to complete, maybe you are new to an area, and you want to shop around the local housing market and know that being a renter means you can move more quickly.

What is renters’ contents insurance?

Tenants’ content insurance, or renters’ insurance, is an insurance policy that protects your own personal belongings from theft and unintentional damage within a rented property, so you don’t lose out in an unexpected situation. 

Damage can happen for all kinds of reasons – maybe there is a fire, maybe you drop your expensive new phone or maybe a water leak seeps down the wall and all over your TV. The thing is, who knows when something unintentional or accidental will happen?

Who should have renters' content insurance?

Anyone renting a property from a landlord who wants to protect their own possessions from damage or loss should get tenants content insurance. 

Whilst your landlord may have a contents insurance policy in place, this only covers the items within your home that belong to them. 

So, if they have put a microwave in the kitchen for you to use – that is their item, and it will be covered under their policy. If you bring your own microwave, that is yours and for your own peace of mind, it’s worth taking out your own policy in case anything happens to your things.

Do I need renters insurance?

You’re not legally required to take out contents insurance when you rent a property, so it’s not mandatory. 

Nothing will happen to you or your rental agreement if you don’t. Perhaps your landlord will suggest it, or perhaps you’ve never heard of it and therefore it isn’t even on your radar of things to sort out.
