Tenants Insurance

Your landlords insurance will only cover the structure of the property, and the furniture and appliances provided with the property.

If you wish to insure your personal possessions against damage, loss, and theft, you will need to arrange your own Tenants' Contents Insurance. 

This is not compulsory; the issue of whether or not to insure your possessions is a matter of personal choice.

Choosing an Insurance Policy

There is great variation in the tenants insurance available, and it is necessary to shop around to find a competitive option that is suitable to your particular situation.

For example, tenants of HMOs will find that many insurance companies do not offer policies that would cover them against theft, because of the communal nature of the property.  However, there are a few insurers that specialise in providing cover for HMO tenants. 

Student organisations, such as the NUS, can give advice on insurance companies that provide insurance that is suitable for students.
