speedy69 Posted February 16, 2011 Share Posted February 16, 2011 Good point, but there's no way I'm leaving my stuff in his Allegro. Can you leave my Allegro out of this, It's been in the family for years and: A) I dont want it catching fire B) I dont want Rampents furniture in it, I've just had a new set of zebra skin seat covers fitted!

speedy69 Posted February 16, 2011 Share Posted February 16, 2011 People who live in Council property are only responsible for insuring the contents and not the actual building - the Council are responsible for this as the property belongs to them. It's the same if you rent a property with a private landlord - you only have to insure the contents and not the property. Believe me, if you have a fire in it there will be a good chance you will be re-charged. As someone has already said, if you didnt, what would stop any tom, dick or harry burning there flat down if they dont like living there? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I do believe the council pay the actual insurance but its something along the lines of, if a fire was to cause damage to the property the tenant or leaseholder would be charged the annual insurance premium! I could be wrong!? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Kier bashing again eh? Accidents happen, always have, always will! If it is an accidental fire caused by faulty wiring no-one is saying they should be re-charged, unfortunatley the percentage of fires in property's are caused by the parlous behaviour of the owners/tenants.

Ms Macbeth Posted February 16, 2011 Share Posted February 16, 2011 People who live in Council property are only responsible for insuring the contents and not the actual building - the Council are responsible for this as the property belongs to them. It's the same if you rent a property with a private landlord - you only have to insure the contents and not the property. Spot on. And the council offers contents insurance that tenants can pay weekly or monthly along with their rent. It isn't compulsory for any tenant or owner occupier to take out contents insurance, but its advisable if your possessions are worth anything.

Sorry, but you are still wrong - the Council OWN the building and are therefore responsible for it - the tenant is only responsible for insuring the contents.
