Home contents insurance for your council home
Tenants home contents insurance is ending
The current contract to provide tenants home contents insurance will end on Sunday, 31 March 2024. The Council are now considering whether to provide this service in the future.
From Monday, 1 April 2024, tenants will no longer be able to purchase home contents insurance via paying their rent. Therefore, no charge for tenants contents insurance will be applied to rent accounts and the charge will not be shown on the 2024/25 rent increase letter.
Where can you find tenants home contents insurance now?
If you still want to insure your contents you should look for alternative providers which provide ‘tenant’s contents insurance’. A new provider can be found via the internet or by contacting providers located locally.
