Rent Arrears Cover
Churchill's got you covered if your tenants can't pay their rent
What is Rent Arrears Cover?
Rent Arrears cover protects you if your tenants can’t afford to pay their rent.
If you add Rent Arrears to your Landlord Insurance, we'll cover any unpaid rent (up to a maximum of 12 months for any one claim) while your tenants are still in the property.
Churchill’s Rent Arrears Cover gives you peace of mind if you’re losing rent, so you don’t have to worry about keeping up with your mortgage payments.
You can claim if your tenants haven’t paid their rent for 30 days.
Rent Arrears Cover is subject to satisfactory references for each tenant (and a guarantor where applicable) from a referencing service and that you keep up-to-date rental records.
Rent Arrears cover is also commonly known as Rent Guarantee or Tenant Default cover.
