Specialist landlord insurance for student tenants

Renting to students can be a shrewd investment opportunity.

You’re guaranteed a regular influx of new tenants every year, and as most students use guarantors as rent cover, you’re usually more assured of getting your rental income without an issue.

But renting to students also comes with its challenges.

University is as much about social life as academic achievements, which can increase the risk of damage or loss from your property – with potentially higher repair costs.

Student Landlord Insurance - FAQs

Renting to students carries its own unique set of challenges that means standard landlord property, contents or rental insurance won’t give you the level of cover you need.

Specifically, landlord insurance can continue to cover your property for the extended periods when it’s unoccupied while students are away or you’re waiting for new tenants at the start of an academic year.

Not necessarily. It’s true that renting to students carries more perceived risk than renting to professionals, but it’s still possible to find a deal that’s not significantly more expensive than regular landlord or property insurance.

You’ll need to contact your insurance provider to confirm the details of your cover for unoccupied properties. Your full cover for unoccupied properties will typically last for a specific period (usually 30 days, although it could be extended).

After that your insurance might only cover events like fire while other common things like flooding, water damage and theft may no longer be covered under your policy until the property is occupied again.
