It depends on the specific terms of your policy. Some renters insurance policies do offer coverage for temporary living expenses if you are forced to leave your rental due to covered damage. However, this coverage may be subject to certain limits and exclusions, so it is important to review your policy carefully and talk to your insurance agent if you have any questions.What is the claims process like and how long does it typically take for a claim to be processed and paid out?
The claims process for renters insurance typically involves notifying your insurance company of the damage or loss, providing documentation to support your claim, and working with a claims adjuster to assess the damage and determine the appropriate payout. The length of time it takes to process and pay out a claim can vary depending on the specific circumstances and the complexity of the claim. However, we strive to process claims as quickly and efficiently as possible, and we will keep you informed throughout the process.Reviews

I'm a postgraduate student and have been living in one of Leydon's properties for over two years now. The team at Leydon have always been incredibly attentive to any maintenance, tenancy, or other concerns, with quick response times and thoughtful, clear communication. In particular, Marian is absolutely wonderful and helps resolve any concerns as soon as we communicate them to her. She is also a fast and effective liaison between ourselves and our landlord, making sure that both parties are happy with any arrangements made.

Rented between 2019 and 2020, thought I had left a review but realised I hadn't. After speaking with somebody else who also has had a horrible experience with Leydons I thought I may as well share the experience. This was just over 2 years ago but based on recent reviews nothing has changed. Before moving in we had to point out various errors in the tenancy agreement which leydons did get on top of very quickly and sort However for a professional agency ... there should be no mistakes. in the first tenancy sent to be signed legally only 1/4 occupants was actually legally allowed to be in the property. Upon moving in the house, it was clear the house had not been cleaned properly at all, we did make leydons aware however nothing was done just "noted". Leydons did fix a few things (door hinge, broken wardrobe and chair) but anything like cleaning or painting they did not do. Almost all of the kitchen appliances had to be replaced within 6 weeks of moving in. The oven was not replaced although it should have been. We were without a washing machine for a few days and without a freezer for a short period of time. Quite often we would not be informed a contractor was coming so somebody would just turn up or we would come home to a stranger in the house, this is breach of contract. Gardening was meant to be supplied 4 times over the year however it was only done twice, the other 2 times done by ourselves (Yes it was during covid however no reimbursment was offered, in fact we were charged for leaving garden waste at end of tenancy). We even uncovered a pond in the garden as it had been buried under overgrown bushes that hadn’t been cut for years. When it came to move out leydons claimed the house was not left in good condition and was dirty however the house was in better condition than we originally moved into bar a shower gel left by the shower. They claimed several things but pictures and pointing out that a bunch of things they were claiming were actually on the move in notes showed they are incompetent and do not check their own records. Lots of the staff seem to be poorly trained. When the property was up for rent again whilst we were still there, most of the agents that showed students round the property didn’t seem to know anything about it at all. We had to correct one agent multiple times as she didn't know anything. The nail in the coffin is leydon for a number of months failed to provide evidence that deposit taken for cleaning and replacement of a curtain that was freyed. the curtain that was then put in looked too long also. When leaving the property the neighbours were sad to see us go as we had been the best tenants theyd had next door in years. EDIT: I can see the response from Leydon is pretty typical, not actually owning up to the issues. Leydon were aware of the issues at the time. Suggestion to future tenants, take photos of every wall, floor and bit of furniture before moving in your own items.

it started out quite well and the it turned out to be one of the worst experiences i've had so far. when in need of help i only got automated replies, i had to pay my deposit twice and never got it back after several months, when i first got into my room it was absolutely filthy and full of dust everywhere with quite damaged furniture. the garden was in terrible conditions and mold was very easy to find in every part of the house.

I have known Bob Leydon for more than 25 years. When I was a fledgling in the student letting business, Bob was keen to share his knowledge freely with me. He never 'gave advice' in the sense that he was suggesting how you should go about your business, it was always a sharing of his experiences, which is a completely different way of communicating. Bob Leydon makes a point of studying the student market and understands the needs of students. Leydon Lettings act upon their findings and are constantly making improvements to their letting accommodation by raising standards. For many years my team in Canterbury often addressed problems by asking ourselves, "What would Bob do in this situation?"

Leydon Lettinngs have managed a non-student-property for us since over 6 years and we always had an excellent service. We live abroad, so we have to rely on the agent to look after everything. Our tenants have had all the help they needed and the contractors were always reasonably priced. Often Ross will recommend a good solution, that does not cost too much, but will sort out the problem and last. The house is older, so there are maintanence issues here and there. We are very happy with Leydon Lettings!
