Landlords Legal Expenses and Rent Guarantee Insurance

Failed rent payments or disputes with tenants are serious and common issues for property owners,
whether you have a large portfolio or just a single investment. Often the worry of large costs or charges can stop a landlord taking matters further to get what they are owed.     

Stride have the answer to this problem…

Stride now offers Landlords Legal Expenses and Rent Guarantee Insurance to alleviate the worry involved in renting your property and protect you from the costs of problem tenants.   

• Rent Guarantee Insurance
  Provides against the non-payment of rent by problem tenants.
• Legal Expenses Cover
  Gives landlords the financial strength to pursue possession proceedings.
  
• 12 Month Policy
  Covers the property not the tenant, so a change of policy is not required when there is a change of tenant.

The Landlords Legal Expenses and Rent Guarantee policy offers the following benefits:

• Rent Protection of up to £2,500 a month per Assured Shorthold Tenancy agreement is provided for (up to a maximum of £10,000) should the tenant be unable, or refuses, to pay the rent rightly owed to you.
• Up to £50,000 in Legal Expenses cover for property disputes, repair and renovation disputes, tax protection and health and safety prosecutions.

• Up to £25,000 cover against Legal Expenses incurred in evicting the tenant from the residential property for either non-payment of rent or at the expiry of the Residential Tenancy Agreement.
