Don’t just take our word for it

Here are some real-life case studies from our clients who use Rent & Legal Protection, saving them thousands of pounds in lost rent and legal fees.

With our Rent and Legal Protection…

A tenant signed a 12-month assured shorthold tenancy (AST) but stopped paying rent after 8 months. Fortunately, the landlord had rent and legal protection, ensuring they received the full rent, avoiding stress.
The tenant ceased communication and continued to withhold rent for 4 months. The landlord, still receiving rent and incurring no legal costs, began legal proceedings without hassle. Eventually, the tenant moved out voluntarily, and the landlord recovered dilapidation costs from the deposit.
Without Rent & Legal Protection, the landlord could have faced a financial loss exceeding £3,500 if the case had gone to court and required a bailiff’s order.

A tenant fell ill and couldn’t pay rent or vacate. The fixed-term tenancy agreement meant the landlord would have to wait for two months of arrears before taking action. Fortunately, the landlord had Rent & Legal Protection, covering the rent until they could claim vacant possession without incurring legal expenses. Without this insurance, the landlord would have faced a financial loss of over £3,000.
