Rent with Peace of Mind

Rent Protection Insurance The first of it’s kind in Singapore and Asia, the product from JLT and QBE makes up for up to 12 months of lost rent (capped at $100,000) in several events, such as the tenants defaulting on payments or real estate agents absconding with rents collected. Protection For Your Investment! In any economic climate, it is prudent to ensure that your investment is well protected against any unforeseen circumstances which may cause financial strain. Rent Protection Insurance preserves the return on your investment; the rental income of your property you have just leased out. It is designed to assist you when your tenant becomes a problem. A tenant may lose his job and stop paying rent. Or disappear without paying rentals in arrears. Or worse, simply not pay and not leave. Rent Protection insurance also takes care of any additional expenses you may need to incur to engage legal assistance to institute legal recovery or eviction proceedings. Easy Access Rent
