When is the best time to start cover?

Cover can be started at any time but cannot be backdated. If you have just purchased a property, the best time to start is straight away – especially if the property is vacant and being advertised for rent.

As a landlord, you have a liability exposure from the moment you or your agent begins showing potential tenants through the property.
