Insurance

At LetRef we understand that even the best intentioned tenants sometimes fall on hard times meaning they may be unable to keep up with their rental payments.

It is more often than not a change in circumstances, such as redundancy or long term illness, which causes a tenant to default on their rent rather than an unwillingness to pay.

Should your tenants fall into arrears the cost associated with legal fees and missed rent can amount to £10k+.
