What is Tenants Liability Insurance and what does it cover?

Tenants Liability Insurance covers your landlord’s stuff that your tenancy agreement says you are liable for. It can cover accidental damage to your landlord’s fixtures, fittings or furniture.

It could be something as small as stains on carpet, or something bigger like a broken window.

You won’t be covered for your liability in causing a fire (so watch those candles), and you won’t be covered for wear and tear, or damage caused deliberately or through negligence.

Theft, flood damage or any damage to the building comes under your landlord’s Building Insurance. Take a look at our Tenants Liability guide to find out more.

You can read our tenants liability guide for more information.
