Landlord pet damage insurance in detail

While tenants will normally cover the cost of any damage caused by their pets, this won’t always be the case. You may have a deposit to fall back on, but adding pet damage cover to your new or existing landlord contents policy provides an extra layer of security.

For just £25 (+Insurance Premium Tax) you can add pet damage insurance cover providing you with a safety net of £5,000 worth of damage.

Up to £5,000 cover

Cover for landlord's fixtures and fittings damaged by pets

Cover provided under either landlords or tenants contents policy

Cover is for unexpected losses

Policy excludes general wear and tear.

It is important to note that our pet damage policy covers claims made for sudden, unintentional, and unexpected physical loss, breakage, or damage caused by a domestic pet to the fixtures, fittings, and contents provided by the landlord in rented accommodation.

It is not for damage caused by everyday wear and tear. For example, if a dog scratches at your door every day, this is not covered, while if a pet pulls down curtains that causes damage to a wall this would be covered.
