Frequently asked questions
Landlord Protector is an insurance plan that is designed specifically for landlords who wish to let out an apartment that they own. It is more than a traditional home policy because it provides specific protection for the landlord’s interests, e.g. it covers the landlord's losses as a result of rent for designated reasons such as the tenant failing to pay the rent. It also protects the landlord’s property against accidental loss or damage by the tenant. The product has been created specifically to address the needs of a landlord, and, as a result, the coverage and limits are also conceived to allow a competitive premium that provides straightforward protection to suit the needs of the vast majority of landlords in Hong Kong.
Landlord Protector is specially designed for landlords in Hong Kong. It is specifically created to address landlords’ concerns about their leased property assets and the resultant rental income which may be affected by loss of rent or damage to their property, furnishings, fixtures and fittings or any other aspects of their property. Also, the cover limits are designed to cater to the specific needs of landlords, e.g. landlords often only provide basic furniture for their tenants and as a result the cover limit of home contents may not need to be as high as that for an owner-occupier, making the product more competitive in terms of its premium.
Customers are advised to take out Landlord Protector as soon as the Tenancy Agreement is signed and duly stamped.
