Unpaid Rent Guarantee

A tenant who stops paying means one less rent payment every month, plus legal costs on top. The Unpaid Rent Guarantee covers the missed payments and handles recovery on your behalf.

What it covers

Unpaid rent and charges

As soon as a missed payment is confirmed, the insurer compensates the rent and charges owed, month after month.

Legal procedure costs

Formal notice, court proceedings, bailiff fees: recovery costs against the tenant are covered.

Litigation and eviction costs

If the dispute goes as far as eviction, the corresponding legal costs are also covered.

Tenant damage (optional)

Some policies also compensate damage caused by the tenant, beyond the security deposit.

What it does not cover

  • Rent already unpaid before the policy was taken out is not guaranteed.
  • A property let without meeting the affordability ratio or solvency criteria required at subscription may be excluded.
  • Disputes linked to a property that doesn't meet decent-housing standards are not covered.

Who is it for?

You let a residential property

Rent makes up a share of your income that a missed payment can quickly threaten.

You manage several rental properties

A default on one unit shouldn't jeopardise the financial balance of your whole portfolio.

You want to let without a personal guarantor

This cover replaces a guarantor by protecting the landlord directly.

Frequently asked questions

Does the tenant need to meet criteria to be covered?
Yes, the insurer sets a maximum rent-to-income ratio and requires supporting documents before the lease starts.
When does compensation for unpaid rent start?
Usually after one or two months of confirmed non-payment, once the reminder process has begun.
Can I combine it with a personal guarantor?
No, most policies exclude combining it with a guarantor: it's one or the other.
How long does it cover unpaid rent for?
Compensation duration varies by policy, often up to 24 or 36 months of unpaid rent.
