Residential Landlord Insurance
Landlord Insurance
Cheers’ provides residential landlord insurance for property let to Professional tenants, Students and DSSS tenants.
Landlord insurance is essential, as normal home insurance may not pay for claims such as burst water pipes or accidental damage caused to your home or another person by your tenants.
To ensure you are fully protected, it is recommended that you purchase landlord insurance, which provides the right protection and additional cover you need as standard.
