LANDLORD PROTECTION INSURANCE
This policy is designed to assist landlords who provide social housing to Local Authorities and Registered Housing
associations within the United Kingdom, in the pursuit and defence of certain legal rights. An abridged summary of
benefits, conditions and exclusions can be found in FAQs which should be read first but the full details are included in the
policy wording which you should then read. Even so, a brief summary of benefits is:
Rent Guarantee - You are covered for rent owed by a Tenant or a Guarantor under a Tenancy Agreement in
relation to the insured property up to the maximum amount payable, where the insured event occurs and is
reported during the period of insurance and you, where appropriate, are pursuing a claim against the tenant to
evict them from the insured property.
Cover is up to a rent of £2500 per month based on the terms of the tenancy agreement for a maximum of 12
months.
Limited Tenant Reference Requirement
The identification of the Tenant need only be verified using at least one of the following:
a) Full birth certificate;
b) Passport;
c) Driving licence;
d) National Insurance Number (if shown on other documents);
e) Biometrics ID and a residence permit or certificate/documentation issued by the Home Office and
indicating permanent right of residence in the United Kingdom.
f) The occupier of the insured property named in the tenancy agreement as the tenant and who has
received a tenant reference confirming that he/she can, solely or jointly with another tenant or other
tenants, afford to cover the cost of the rent in full.
Tenant Mediation and Eviction
What is insured:
You are covered for Advisers’ Costs to pursue Legal Actions for:
a) Mediation with the Tenant (and Guarantor if required) to resolve breaches in the Tenancy Agreement
relating to the rightful occupation of the Insured Property – maximum cover £330.
b) Eviction proceedings against a Tenant to recover possession of the Insured Property where the Tenant
fails to perform his obligations set out in the Tenancy Agreement relating to the rightful occupation of the
Insured Property, including pursuing cost recovery of dilapidations unless the missing or damaged items
were not contained within a Dilapidations Inventory.

Policy Excess - NIL
This insurance covers only the one rented property shown on the policy schedule which is attached to the policy and which
details the cover that has been purchased in respect of the tenant(s) named on the applicable tenancy agreement; a 90 day
exclusion from the policy start date will apply where a tenant(s) has been resident prior to the policy application unless you
had continuous previous insurance.
