Other structures

Safeguards detached structures such as sheds, workshops, and garages.

Let’s Talk About Tenants

We understand the nuances and risks associated with different types of tenants. Here is how we classify them.

Long-term rental

The traditional rental model, where the rental contract has a minimum term of 6 months.

We do NOT offer short-term rental on a permanent basis, such as Airbnb or similar platforms. The reason is because these are considered as business arrangements and we cannot cover them.

We offer Landlord Insurance through two different products: Basic Dwelling (DP1) and Special Dwelling (DP3). Since the difference between them can be tricky, we recommend you contact a producer, so that you can get the best coverage according to your needs.
