Maras Insurance
Despite every care taken with the letting and management of a property, the unexpected can happen. A tenant may be unable to pay the rent due to redundancy, accident, sickness, divorce, or even death. Not only might you suffer a shortfall in rental income but also legal costs are inevitably involved when a tenancy agreement is breached. Disputes can arise between landlords and tenants, for example, bringing action for unauthorised alterations to a property or unauthorised use of the property. Perhaps a tenant might withhold rent due to alleged deficiencies connected with the premises.

What are the benefits of using insurance?
The benefit of MARAS Rental Guarantee & Legal Expenses insurance is that legal experts can be brought in at the onset of a problem. This means that matters can be resolved quickly; if necessary, the property can be swiftly re-let and in the meantime, you will have had the benefit of free legal advice, legal action and rental guarantee.

How do I apply for rental guarantee & legal expenses insurance?
Once the tenants' application for your property has been approved, you will receive a rental guarantee & legal expenses quotation through us, from MARAS.
