A policy that adapts
We've added Section 13 cover and guarantee the first month's rent to keep you protected in the evolving legislative landscape.
Protect your clients
Court delays are inevitable under the Renters’ Rights Act because of changing eviction rules. Our cover ensures your landlords can still pay the bills while they wait for vacant possession.
Safeguard your management fees
If tenants don’t pay the rent, your clients can’t pay you. Rent protection policies offer two-factor protection amid growing uncertainty.
Increase your revenue
By allowing landlords to opt in to Rent Protection & Legal Expenses Insurance, you can earn up to £120 per year, per landlord, without spending any time selling.
Save time
Our in-house claims team handles mediation between landlords and tenants on your behalf, working with both parties to recover rent before cases reach court.
Onboarding support
We help you embed rent protection into your business, helping you to get return on investment and to diversify your revenue streams.
100% rent paid until vacant possession
Eviction delays are certain to lengthen under the Renters' Rights Act. That's why we don't cap our rent payments at 12-15 months, unlike other providers.
£100K legal expenses cover
If a case goes to court, we cover legal expenses up to £100,000 and help you regain possession from non-vacating tenants and squatters. No additional cost.
Automated online claims process
The Goodlord platform gives us direct access to your documents and information, saving you time, while allowing us to resolve claims efficiently.
First month’s rent guaranteed
If you don’t receive the first month’s rent after signing a tenancy, you can now claim immediately without impacting future claims.
Receive 90% of the monthly rent for up to six weeks after vacant possession
Keep your income steady while you work to re-let the property. Cover applies following a successful claim and once the tenancy is secured again through your agency.
Section 13 dispute cover
If tenants appeal a rent increase, we’ll pay the difference between the old rent and the proposed new amount for up to six months, or until the First-tier Tribunal reaches a decision.
£1,000 property damage cover
Our policy contributes £1,000 beyond the deposit to help cover damage or dilapidation costs, providing an extra layer of financial protection. We also cover the legal action needed to pursue tenants or other responsible parties for direct physical damage to the property or its contents when the amount in dispute exceeds £1,000.
90-day alternative accommodation cover
If a tenant refuses to vacate and the landlord needs to move back into the property, we’ll cover alternative accommodation (up to £175 per day) and storage fees (up to £15 per day).
Samuel Fitz-Hugh
Co-founder
“Goodlord’s Insurance product is something we’ve used throughout the history of our business. We’ve had success with every claim we’ve made through to the court stage, which is great, as few as they’ve been.”
Tom Pawley
Lettings Manager
“The first month’s rent cover is key. Before, we were expected to hand keys over without the first month’s rent being paid - frightening for landlords.”
Becky Ward
Director
“I’ve had some really good feedback since we started offering the Rent Protection product. It gives landlords a real sense of security, and it also positions us as a professional, well-informed agency because we’re able to offer that level of protection.”
