What does landlord insurance cover?
Landlord buildings insurance
Buildings insurance covers your home against losses from risks like fire, storm and flood. Buildings insurance covers not only the main building but also things such as interior decorations, fixtures and fittings, outbuildings, fences, etc. within the boundary of the property.
Landlord contents insurance
Contents insurance covers your household goods within the property, as well as non-permanent fittings such as carpets and curtains. Note that this doesn’t provide cover for your tenant’s belongings, they will need to purchase their own contents insurance.
Landlord home insurance key points
