Home Contents Insurance

Tenants and Residents do you have Home Contents Insurance?

GDHA covers the buildings insurance for your home but you’re responsible, under the terms of your tenancy, for insuring your contents. It’s always a good idea to shop around for a policy that’ll give you the cover you need.


Home contents insurance isn’t compulsory, but it’s a good idea to consider what a policy would cover you for.


Home contents insurance can help protect your possessions from risks like fire, theft, water damage, and many more household risks, giving you peace of mind.
