Rent Guarantee & Legal Expenses Insurance
One of the biggest challenges in the buy to let business is cash flow. In order to have a good cash flow, landlords should make sure that they have as little a void period as possible and when tenanted, the rent comes in with out any delays and defaults.
Most tenants are prompt in the initial few months (with some exceptions) but changing circumstances and unforeseen circumstances for the tenant such as redundancy, accident, divorce, injury or illness or just poor cash management lands them in a position wherein they start delaying the rental payments. Some tenants unfortunately end up continuing to default and neither pay their rent nor vacate from the property.
Experienced landlords will agree that this is a nightmare situation. One defaulting tenant can lead to several hours and in some cases days of follow up, time and costs to get the property back. There are horror stories on how defaulting tenants sometimes even damage the property and landlords end up with no rent, expensive legal bills, all the anxiety if it becomes an eviction type situation and a void after the tenant leaves until the property is ready to be re-let.
