HomeLet
advises their agents to make sure that their rent is fully protected News
has come in from the UK Landlord and Tenant property insurance company HomeLet
to their letting agents on the 29th May 09. The
recession has led to a surge in rental arrears and in the first quarter of 2009
they saw a 20% increase in Rent Guarantee claims. This means that they are helping
more landlords than ever before. With unemployment predicted to reach over 3m
in 2010 it's inevitable that the number of tenants who default on their rent will
only continue to rise. According
to research by the National
Landlords Association One in Three landlords currently have tenants in arrears. HomeLet
paid out £3 million in rent arrears and legal costs in 2008 They
say that there has been a 20 per cent increase in Rent Guarantee claims so far
this year. Apparently
the is guarantee will provide for: -
Cover
for missed rental payments -
Specialist
in-house Claims team to ensure all claims are handled promptly -
Cover for legal costs incurred in evicting the tenant as a result of non-payment
of the rent Well
