Loss of rent for student landlords
If your property were to become uninhabitable due to fire, flood or another insured peril, it could take time to complete the repairs. The rent you receive from your student tenant(s) could also cease due to the incident. You can choose a student landlord insurance policy that includes loss of rent for these circumstances. Indemnity periods can be tailored up to three years from the date when the loss occurred. Many policies can also cover the costs of alternative accommodation for your tenants during this time.
Malicious acts and damage caused by tenants
Malicious acts cover is featured on Everywhen’s standard property insurance and is available online. Commonly, malicious damage when caused by members of the public, is covered by the majority of landlord policies available. However, frequently landlords ask us for malicious damage to the building caused by their tenants. If this is important to you, we recommend you call us for a tailored quotation.
Property owners' contents liability cover
Property owners' liability insurance can be included as part of our contents insurance offering. This covers you for damage done by contents to a third party (e.g. tenants), from accidents such as furniture falling over or water tanks bursting. It is available as standard or at no additional cost (depending on your policy).
Cover for accidental damage caused by tenants
Whoever you rent to, accidents can happen. Putting a nail through a pipe or spilling wine on the carpet, are just some examples where accidental damage cover could be applicable to help you pay for necessary repairs to your property. Accidental damage, as with any other insurance, does not cover wear and tear.
