Trustpilot customer reviews
I've been using Rentguard for over a decade. They are always helpful. Their reminders always arrive in plenty of time. On the phone, their agents are always helpful & positive, and know their products and suppliers well. Over the years, each one has been able to find lower priced deals, whilst still maintaining the required levels of coverage.
I have used Rentguard for a number of years- the renewal process is always very straight forward and it is always very easy to talk to the team on the phone. The people who answer the phone have always been able to quickly resolve my queries.
Rentguard are so quick and efficient when I am using their online quoting system. If the online system cannot quote I will be called promptly and the member of staff will check if any insurers are able to quote.

Finding suitable tenants and then keeping them long term can be important for the success of your rental investment. Rentguard, the NRLA’s Legal Expenses and Rent Guarantee Insurance partner, has researched what landlords can look out for in 2025 and improvements they can make to help avoid rent arrears.
What costs can the eviction process include for landlords?

How likely is it that tenants will go into rent arrears?
There are a number of factors that could cause rent arrears, and an individual’s financial situation could change at any time. This is why having suitable cover in place, such as rent guarantee insurance, can help. You may also request that your tenant nominates a guarantor when signing the tenancy agreement, who can be liable for rent payments if they are missed. NRLA partner Rentguard, gives us an explanation.
What do tenants look for in a rented home?
Long-term tenancies reduce the likelihood of void periods that can occur when you’re looking for new tenants.

But how can you convince reliable tenants to choose you and your property as their long-term landlord and home? NRLA partner, Rentguard has taken a look at what tenants are after in a rented home.
