Landlord & Inventory Services

Property maintenance insurance cover isn’t available for general maintenance because it’s classed as wear & tear which is an accepted part of owning a property and renting one out. Landlords who keep on top of their rental property maintenance schedules, shouldn’t have too many unexpected surprises. But when things do need fixing, landlords should arrange for the issue to be inspected and any necessary repairs carried out as soon as possible to save money long-term.
