Council Housing - Home Insurance

Get Covered!

According to the British Crime Survey, half of all burglaries and attempted burglaries occur at night, which means now is the ideal time to make sure that if you did have unexpected visitors, your personal belongings are insured against theft with North West Leicestershire District Council's tenant's contents insurance.

What is tenant's contents insurance?

Tenant's contents insurance is available to all tenants and protects your belongings in your home against loss or damage, theft, fire and flood. If for example, you suffered a burst water pipe, damage by fire or even burglary, you will not receive any financial help with repairs or replacement of your personal belongings unless you have taken out tenant's contents insurance.

Did you know?

North West Leicestershire District Council does not automatically insure your home contents. This is your responsibility!

What is covered?

Not only does North West Leicestershire District Council tenant's contents insurance cover the possessions in your home against loss or damage, theft, fire, and flood, but the contents of outbuildings and garages on the same site are also insured. So don't forget to secure your garden goodies such as garden furniture, BBQs, bicycles, garden tools, plant pots and lawn mowers, which if left outside are attractive to thieves.
Insuring your possessions is easy and you can spread the cost weekly or monthly in line with your current rental payment agreement.
