Landlord Products / ServicesRent Guarantee Insurance (RGI) protects landlords against loss of rent. It’s also known as Legal Expenses & Rent Guarantee Insurance (LERG). Many landlords consider it an essential insurance policy
The insurance policy is most commonly relied upon when tenants fall into arrears and are unable to pay rent, or simply refuse to pay rent (for whatever reason). If that happens, you can reclaim the money through the insurance company (or at least a percentage of it, depending on the terms of your policy).
Most policies also provide legal expense coverage. For example, if you’re dealing with a tenant that falls into arrears and refuses to vacate, legal expenses to evict the tenant incur, especially if the matter escalates to court and bailiffs are required.
