Rent Protection & Legal Expenses Service

The Renters’ Rights Act makes it harder and potentially slower for landlords to regain possession, meaning rent arrears may take longer to resolve and leave landlords at risk of ongoing costs for a longer period.

If you cannot afford to lose your rental income when a tenant can’t or won’t pay, Intercounty’s Rent Protection & Legal Expenses Service gives you essential peace of mind. Our service protects the rent you’re owed and provides legal assistance should you need it.

Features of the cover

• Full rent protection with nil excess for the first 45 days, plus legal expenses and representation included throughout the claims process.
• Comprehensive cover for arrears, property damage, eviction and legal disputes, including payments until vacant possession and support against tenants, ex‑tenants or squatters.
• Flexible claims window, with 90 days to make a claim, nil excess for 45 days, and continued rent payments (90% for up to six weeks) after possession until the property is re-let.
