LetCompliance is landlord software from £7.99 a month that runs the whole let (the advert, the tenancy, the rent and the tax). It records every policy against the property with its renewal date and reminds you 90, 30 and 7 days before it renews. It is not an insurer or a broker, and does not sell insurance. Get started

Who this is for

Furnished and part-furnished assured tenancies, HMO room lets with shared kitchens.

  • Clarity that tenant-owned goods are excluded

Watch out

High-value items

Single-item limits may cap laptops or bikes; specify high-risk items.

How this compares

Tenant contents

Tenants need their own renters insurance for personal possessions.

FAQs

Are carpets buildings or contents?

Often treated as landlord contents if not structural; check policy definitions.

Do I need contents in an unfurnished flat?

Only for items you retain (e.g. integrated appliances sometimes under buildings).
