Rent protection questions answered
Need cover specifics or premium options? Ask the concierge or speak to the arrears team directly.
Do I need to be on your fully managed service to get rent protection?+
No. We can arrange rent protection as a standalone service. That said, most landlords roll it into our 15% + VAT fully managed plan so referencing, claims and tenant communication stay under one roof.
What happens if a tenant falls into arrears?+
Our arrears team takes immediate action—liaising with the tenant, setting payment plans and preparing claims. You’ll continue receiving rent within the policy limits while we handle legal proceedings.
Can existing tenancies qualify for cover?+
Yes. We conduct an arrears and referencing health check first. If everything passes, we can activate rent protection mid-tenancy with clearly defined start dates and waiting periods.
