Could you afford to miss out on your rental income if your tenant can’t or won’t pay their rent? With Frost's Rent Protection & Legal Expenses Service, you’ll always get the income you expect from your tenants, and it will also support you if you need legal representation to recover your property.
Sometimes things can go wrong – even when you’ve taken measures to protect yourself. Rent arrears can be disastrous when you rely on this income to pay a buy-to-let mortgage. A Rent Protection and Legal Expenses Service does exactly what it says on the tin – it protects the income (rent) for a property that has been let to a tenant.
With our service, you’ll always get the income you expect, and if you need legal representation to recover it, our service can help.

Our Rent Protection and Legal Expenses Service is nil excess as standard and covers eviction of tenants and squatters legal proceedings, property damage legal expenses, contract disputes, and legal defence, should you need it. You can see full details of our comprehensive cover below:
Nil excess
The Rent Protection and Legal Expenses service comes with nil excess as standard for claims made in the first 45 days. This means you’ll benefit from 100% of the monthly rent owed until vacant possession is obtained should you need to make a claim.
Legal expenses included
We’ll cover the costs and expenses of legal proceedings, including the cost of appeals, and also provide legal representation from one of our trusted partners. We’ll appoint a legal representative for the duration of the proceedings and support throughout the process.
Rent protection and recovery
We’ll pay rent arrears whilst a tenant or ex-tenant still occupies the property until vacant possession is obtained. After this, we will continue to pay 90% of the rent until the property is re-let for a maximum of six weeks. We will also cover the costs and expenses of recovering rent from a tenant or ex-tenant if the amount of rent unpaid is more than £250.
Property damage legal expenses
Should a property sustain physical damage of £1000 or more during the tenancy caused by the tenant, we’ll cover the expenses for the pursuit of a civil dispute against the tenant, to rectify the damage. We will also pay up to £1000 to you where the damages caused to the property are over and above the amount of deposit held.
Eviction of tenants or squatters
If there are squatters or ex-tenants in the property without your consent, our service will assist with the costs of eviction.
Standalone legal expenses
You can claim for legal expenses to evict a tenant, for mandatory breaches that require the pursuit of a civil dispute.
90-day claim window
We offer a 90-day claim window, providing plenty of time to organise a claim from the date of the first rental payment missed by a tenant, with nil excess in the first 45 days and a one-month excess for the remaining period.
