Rent Guarantee

Sometimes things can go wrong – even when you’ve taken measures to protect yourself and rent arrears can be disastrous when you rely on this income to pay a buy-to-let mortgage.

Our Rent Guarantee not only ensures you receive the income you expect from your tenants, but will also cover any costs you may have in recovering it.

The service is nil excess as standard so you’ll benefit from 100% of the monthly rent owed for up to 15 months, should you need to make a claim. In addition, the policy covers eviction of tenants or squatters legal proceedings, property damage legal expenses, contract disputes, and legal defence, should you need it.

Rest easy in the knowledge that you’ll always get the income you expect and, if you need legal representation to recover it, our service can help.

For extra peace of mind, add Rent Guarantee to your Standard Managed service, or choose our Premium Managed service with it already included.

The Benefits

Sometimes your tenant’s security deposit isn’t enough to cover significant damage or rent arrears. A comprehensive and rigorous coverage could mean the difference between regaining your property or defaulting on your buy-to-let mortgage.

Through the service, we often settle a dispute in rent arrears or damage to a property outside of the legal system and, by taking out our service, we handle the time-consuming task of making a settlement.

However, if required, we’ll cover the costs and expenses of legal proceedings, including the cost of appeals, and also provide legal representation from one of our trusted partners. We’ll appoint a legal representative for the duration of the proceedings and support throughout the process.

Should a property sustain physical damage of £1,000 or more during the tenancy caused by the tenant, we’ll cover the expenses for pursuit of a civil dispute against the tenant, to rectify the damage.

With our Rent Guarantee service, you’ll get the income you’re owed and any costs you may have in recovering it, so you’ll not be out of pocket, even if the unexpected happens.

FAQ’s

How many months does the service pay out for?

Our service pays out for up to 15 months at 100% of rent. We’ll then also pay for up to 2 months at 75% whilst the property is being re-advertised. The property must be re-let with your current agent.

What’s covered under the legal expenses?

We’ll cover the eviction for rent arrears, serving the Section 8 notice, arranging a legal advocate, paying court costs and organising a bailiff. We’ll also evict for some other serious breaches. The main ones include subletting, illegal activity, unauthorised occupants and failure to vacate after a Section 21 notice – the case must have a 51% (or higher) chance of success in court, as determined by DAS Law.

Has anything changed in light of COVID-19?

Goodlord has continued to provide this service throughout COVID-19, with no disruption to new business or renewals. To do this, they enhanced our claims process to include a comprehensive pre-claims service with mediation, financial assessments and support to tenants, landlords and letting agents – all whilst continuing to provide cover that protects for up to 15 months of rental payments.

What is the property damage cover?

This provides legal expenses and support where the tenant leaves with over £1,000 of damage in the property. Your deposit is used and then any damages over and above that amount will be chased through the money judgement process. Please be aware we need to be able to trace the tenant for you to benefit from this.

Is there an excess?

This service is nil excess, as long as a claim is made within 45 days of the first arrears. If a claim is made within 46 to 90 days of arrears, there is a penalty excess of one month.
