Content insurance for renters

In line with HM Government advice, it is strongly recommended that tenants have insurance cover in place when renting a property.

As a tenant you are liable as part of your tenancy agreement for accidental damage to the home and landlord’s fixtures as well as your own possessions.

Tenant Insurance FAQs

While not legally required, many landlords strongly recommend or even require it in their tenancy agreements. Regardless of requirements, tenant insurance is a wise investment to protect your belongings and provide liability coverage during your tenancy.

Premiums typically start from just a few pounds per month, depending on factors like your location, the value of your belongings, and the level of coverage you choose. Our sister company Bode Insurance Solutions offer competitive rates with flexible payment options.

No, tenant insurance only covers the policyholder's personal belongings. Each flatmate should have their own policy to ensure their possessions are protected. Some insurers offer joint policies for couples sharing accommodation.

Most standard policies have per-item value limits. Valuable items like jewellery, electronics, or musical instruments over a certain value may need to be listed separately on your policy. Your advisor can help ensure your high-value items are properly covered.

If you need to make a claim, simply contact Bode directly using the details provided in your policy documentation. They'll guide you through the process, which typically involves providing evidence of ownership and details of the loss or damage.

Romans secured my tenants immediately after marketing my property. I have a positive and excellent experience with them. Aduel is efficient and professional. He kept me informed and up-to-date from the start. I would not hesitate to recommend Romans to other landlords.
