Tenants contents insurance

This cover works for everyone – the letting agent, the landlord and the tenant.

Tenants with this cover not only protect their contents, but also the landlord’s fixtures and fittings. Good relations and protection for tenants and landlords will ensure your letting agency continues to have a healthy income management stream.
