Rent guarantee insurance means you’ll get your rent covered for you in the event your tenants stop paying. It means you won’t be out of pocket while your tenants sort themselves out – or you sort out an eviction.
Rent guarantee insurance is not compulsory, but it’s a good option if losing your monthly rental income from a property would put you at a significant financial disadvantage.

You can’t buy Simple Landlords Insurance’s rent guarantee policy by itself. It’s an add-on you can choose when you buy a landlords insurance policy.
You can choose your own level of cover based on the amount of rent your tenants normally pay. Lower rent means your premium will be less.
Simple Landlord Insurance’s rent guarantee starts from £79.99 for 12 months.
Simple Landlords Insurance will pay up to £2,000 a month to cover your rent for up to 12 months. They won’t cover tenants who have a history of not paying their rent, and they won’t cover claims for the first 90 days of the policy if the tenants didn’t have existing references. After 90 days of no incidents, you’ll be covered.
Tenant references must confirm that the tenant can actually meet the monthly rental commitment, must include two forms of identification (one with a photo), and must show they have no outstanding or closed CCJs (County Court Judgements) in the last three years.
