Keep Your Business and Your Landlords Safe Without Getting Swept Up in Recent Premium Rises

The Renters’ Rights Act has officially landed, and whether you love it, hate it, or are still pretending it’s not quite real yet, one thing is certain: it’s already changing the way the sector works. Evictions are slowing down, processes are tightening up, and uncertainty is spreading faster than a rumour in a landlord Facebook group.

So yes, this is the perfect moment to get your house in order (your literal one, your portfolio one, or even just your metaphorical one). Rent guarantee and legal expenses insurance isn’t something to think about later anymore. Future You will thank Present You for sorting it out now.


The New Landscape: Slower Evictions, Faster Headaches

Let’s be honest. No agent wants to deal with rent arrears at the best of times. But with the new legislation bedding in, even the simplest cases can now turn into a bit of a waiting game.

The courts are adjusting. Guidance is evolving. Everyone is figuring out what comes next. And in that in between period Things can get… well, sticky.

A tenant stops paying. The process drags. The landlord panics. You check your emails and suddenly feel the urge to Google “career change to professional dog walker”.

This is exactly why rent guarantee matters right now.


Why Rent Guarantee Is the Safety Net Every Agent Needs

Rent guarantee isn’t just about protecting landlords, it’s about protecting you. Your income, your relationship with clients, and your ability to sleep at night without the fear of receiving a 2am essay about arrears.

A good rent guarantee policy does the heavy lifting when rent stops, covering monthly payments and handling the legal bits that no one wants to spend their Friday afternoon dealing with.

It’s peace of mind. It’s stability. It’s your emergency parachute in a world full of new rental sector turbulence.


And No, You Don’t Need To Pay a Fortune For It

There’s been quite a bit of noise recently about premium increases across the industry, and yes, some of those increases have been eye watering enough to make anyone double take.
