Insurance for council tenants
Insuring your home
As a resident, your furniture and personal belongings are not automatically insured against theft or damage. This means that if your possessions are destroyed by fire, for example, you will not be compensated for your loss unless you have home contents insurance.
To insure the contents of your home, you can use any insurance company you choose.
However, if you live on a large estate it can be hard to get contents insurance. To help, we have a special household contents insurance scheme for all our tenants and leaseholders (not just those living on estates). The scheme is run by the RSA Insurance Group (formerly Royal & Sun Alliance) and is only available to Haringey Council/Homes for Haringey tenants or leaseholders.
If you wish to apply for home contents insurance through RSA Insurance, please complete the application form in the Home Contents Insurance booklet (PDF, 231KB)
