Unlike homeowners, renters don’t realise they may need financial protection. Research from Sainsbury’s Bank recently revealed that only a quarter of renters (26%) are likely to have life insurance or critical illness cover, compared to almost half of homeowners (41%).
The study also found that 54% of renters are more concerned than homeowners (48%) about their financial situation should they pass away, with 21% of renters worrying about this on a weekly basis compared to 16% of homeowners(1).
When you consider renters plough 40% of their income into covering household costs, double what an owner-occupier would pay (19%), protecting their rental payments is more important than ever(2).
Our plan is designed to provide a regular monthly benefit in the event of a valid claim, which could be used to help pay the rent.
