Why do I need it?
If you are a tenant who rents, it is unlikely your landlord will cover your contents as part of the tenancy agreement. It is your responsibility to ensure you have a home contents insurance policy that will cover you in the event your items are damaged or there is a fire/flood at your property.
Home contents insurance is designed to help protect your possessions. No matter how careful you are, there’s always a risk that your belongings could be broken, damaged or stolen.
To help you decide whether home contents insurance is right for you, we've teamed up with Thistle Tenant Risks, and Great Lakes Insurance UK Limited who provide the My Home Contents Insurance Scheme, a Tenants Contents Insurance policy designed for tenants living in social housing.
The My Home Contents Insurance Scheme can offer you insurance for the contents of your home including cover for items such as furniture, carpets, curtains, clothes, bedding, electrical items, jewellery, pictures and ornaments.
