Contents Insurance
The council does not insure a tenant’s home contents against loss or damage. We advise that all tenants seek to insure their personal belongings, carpets, furniture, other household items and, decoration for such damage and/or loss, including loss relating to fire or flood damage.
The council will provide tenants with access to a pay-as-you-go home contents insurance scheme. This is not a mandatory requirement, and tenants can opt to insure themselves via a different means. However, should a tenant wish to access the Authority’s scheme, they can do so by contacting (0191) 643 2360. More information is available at: RSA tenant insurance
