Insurance for council tenants

We are in process of changing providers, we will be adding a link to a new provider in April when you will be able to apply for a new policy.

We recommend taking out contents insurance as it protects the contents of your home, garage and shed if your possessions were stolen, damaged, or destroyed. As a landlord, we won't cover your contents as part of the tenancy agreement.

It's important to make an informed decision:

• consider if you need insurance and to what level
• shop around with comparison sites
• make sure providers are regulated by the Financial Conduct Authority (FCA)

Cover can be added for optional extras such as:

• hearing aids
• wheelchairs
• bicycles
• personal belongings

You can also upgrade to a Simple Cover Plus policy which includes accidental damage.
