Landlord Cover

Our Mutual Landlord Product is no longer available to new members but remains in force for existing members who purchased or renewed their cover prior to 1st April 2020. We are developing an alternative Landlord proposition for our members that will be available later in the year. Information on this page relates only to members whose cover incepted prior to 1st April 2020.

It is important you ensure that your property/business continues to have uninterrupted cover by either accepting a new Select and Protect quotation or sourcing alternative cover elsewhere prior to your renewal date. TMM will not be able to provide any extension of your cover nor the benefit of the Group Insurance policy after the current expiry of your cover.

Together we’re Stronger

You don’t have to be in the armed forces to be a Member or take out Landlord cover with us. If you support our armed forces and believe they do a great job, you’re welcome to join us.

At The Military Mutual, our Manifesto is very simple: always do the right thing for our Members.

As a Mutual, we don’t have shareholders. Instead, our Members can have a say in how we do things. That’s why we can use our discretion to agree claims that aren’t included in the cover or are more than terms would normally allow.

We’ll always do what we believe is the right thing to do.

Who Provides Your Cover

The Military Mutual offers cover on a discretionary basis to its Members which means the Board can, at its discretion, settle claims outside the normal terms and conditions if they feel that Members would support this.

We collect contributions from our Members and use these to pay claims and to cover operating expenses. Any surplus beyond these needs belongs to our Members and can only be used for the benefit of our Members or as agreed by our Members.

Frequently Asked Questions

What does our Landlord Cover provide?

Our Landlord Cover protects landlords against the risks associated with renting out their property.

It can include a number of useful features, such as buildings insurance, accidental damage cover for landlord’s property, legal liabilities and financial protection against loss of rent.

Our Landlord Cover offers all of these options to residential landlords only.

Is Landlord Cover a legal requirement?

Most lenders make buildings cover a requirement of taking out a buy-to-let mortgage. If you employ anyone other than a family member, such as a cleaner not provided through an agency, you’ll need employer’s liability insurance.

Even if you don’t have a mortgage it’s advisable to protect the buildings. It’s also worth considering taking out contents cover if you’ve furnished the property or have items such as cookers and washing machines in the property.

Why should I buy Landlord Cover?

If you’re a landlord, there’s plenty that can go wrong when you give tenants the run of your house. So it’s important to have the right protection in place.
