Ahead of the abolition of no-fault evictions due to come into force at the beginning of May, Alps has updated its landlord legal expenses and rent protection product. Alps said the implementation of the Renters’ Rights Act 2025 would create a more demanding legal and regulatory environment for landlords.

The product is available either as an add-on to a landlord’s home insurance policy or as a standalone product.

It provides cover of up to £50,000 for advisers’ costs to pursue legal actions for breaches of the tenancy agreement, eviction proceedings, and rent arrears. The same limit applies to cover for costs incurred in rectifying damage as well as to pursue a legal action for nuisance or trespass claims.

A £50,000 limit is also available for costs to pursue a legal action to evict squatters and to defend civil and criminal prosecutions brought against landlords. A limit of £1,000 applies for court attendance expenses for any one claim.

Michelle O’Reilly, managing director at Alps, said: “As reforms under the Renters’ Rights Act reshape the private rented sector, landlords will face more complex and potentially longer dispute processes.

“Our enhanced landlord legal expenses and rent protection product is designed to provide the specialist legal support and financial protection landlords need, while introducing more flexible pricing options that ensure cover remains accessible and aligned to rental values.”
