landlords must have insurance

If you're renting out your property on an Assured Short-hold Tenancy (AST) it pays to make sure you're covered with the right landlord insurance and if you’re using an online letting agent to rent your property, you will need to make sure this box is ticked. Assuming that a regular home insurance policy will be enough just won't cut it. Landlords insurance typically includes buildings insurance, as well as a number of extras specifically tailored to your situation.
