Your Questions Answered
Do I need to tell my insurer that my tenants are asylum seekers?
Yes. Declaring the correct tenant type is essential to ensure your policy is valid and provides the appropriate level of cover.
Is cover different for asylum seeker accommodation?
Policies are tailored to reflect the nature of asylum seeker accommodation, which may include higher occupancy levels or management by a local authority or housing provider.
Are properties let to asylum seekers usually classed as HMOs?
In many cases, yes. If the property houses multiple unrelated occupants, it may be classed as an HMO and require specific HMO insurance and local authority licensing.
Does the policy cover periods of unoccupancy?
Yes, but conditions may apply. It’s important to notify your insurer if the property is left unoccupied for extended periods.
Are properties managed by councils or housing associations covered?
Yes. We can arrange policies for properties leased or managed by local authorities, charities, or housing providers supporting asylum seekers
Is rent guaranteed if tenants are asylum seekers?
Rent is often paid via local authorities or housing providers. While standard landlords insurance covers loss of rent due to insured damage, separate rent guarantee insurance may be available depending on the arrangement.
