Why CIA Landlord Insurance England?
What are the responsibilities of a landlord in England?
Landlords in England who rent out their property must ensure they understand the responsibilities of being a landlord. It is required that you make sure your tenants are free from any health hazards by maintaining the property adequately.
Make sure all gas and electric equipment used by the tenants on the property is safely installed, regularly checked, and maintained, and provide your tenants with copies of the electrical safety certificates.
When finding a tenant for your property, you must always check if the tenant has the right to rent in England. This was introduced in the Immigration Act of 2014 to curb illegal immigration.
To ensure you and your tenants are safe, CIA Landlords can provide you with landlord insurance in England, giving you peace of mind and protection against unexpected events.
