Eviction Insurance for Landlords

Eviction insurance is cover that may help landlords with legal expenses when a tenant fails to pay rent or refuses to vacate the property.

It is often included as part of broader landlord insurance, tenant default insurance or rental protection insurance.

Depending on the policy, eviction-related cover may include:

• Legal notices
• Attorney costs
• Eviction-related legal expenses
• Rental recovery support
• Tenant default claims support
• Court process assistance, where covered

Eviction is not always quick or simple. If a tenant refuses to pay or leave, the landlord may face both legal costs and lost rental income.

Eviction insurance can help reduce the financial burden of enforcing your rights as a landlord.

Landlords must follow the correct legal process when dealing with eviction matters. Insurance does not allow unlawful eviction or informal removal of tenants.

Cover is subject to policy terms, conditions, exclusions and legal requirements.

Eviction insurance is most useful when combined with broader rental protection, including:

• Tenant default insurance
• Loss of rental income cover
• Legal expense cover
• Rental recovery support
