TDS Group is pleased to announce a partnership with Safe House Insurance, bringing a suite of tailored insurance products to the private rented sector. This collaboration aims to support both landlords and tenants with affordable, flexible protection, while raising standards across the rental market.
Through this partnership, a range of five-star Defaqto-rated insurance products will now be available via TDS Landlord+, the exclusive platform for TDS landlord members. These products are designed to address the real risks faced in the rental sector, from property damage and loss of rent for landlords to contents and liability cover for tenants.
Raising standards through better protection
The private rented sector continues to evolve, and landlords and tenants alike are navigating an increasingly complex landscape, from maintenance and compliance to tenant rights and financial risk. Having reliable, tailored insurance in place can make a significant difference in protecting investments and supporting longer-term, secure tenancies.
As Steve Harriott, Chief Executive of TDS, explains:
“We are thrilled to partner with Safe House Insurance to introduce these innovative products. At TDS, we are committed to driving positive change in the private rental sector, and we believe that offering comprehensive insurance options is an important step in raising standards. With Safe House’s expertise in insurance and our deep knowledge of the rental market, we are confident this partnership will provide added peace of mind for both landlords and tenants.”
The insurance packages have been designed with clarity and accessibility in mind. With a panel of leading insurers, including AXA, LV, and RSA, Safe House Insurance provides competitive quotes for both new policies and renewals, ensuring value as well as quality. Whether landlords need basic protection or more comprehensive cover, the flexible range ensures there’s an option to suit different types of rental arrangements and levels of risk.
A timely addition
The partnership is being launched at a time when topics like pet-friendly renting and rising tenant expectations are top of mind for landlords and agents. Many are reviewing their policies to accommodate these changes, while still looking for ways to mitigate risk.
Among the new insurance options available through this partnership is a dedicated policy to help cover accidental pet damage, offering an additional layer of protection where traditional insurance may not apply. This is just one of the many flexible cover types that landlords can explore through the Safe House panel, tailored to suit their specific property and tenant needs.
Rather than a one-size-fits-all approach, the new insurance offering supports the day-to-day realities of letting and renting; whether it’s covering unexpected repairs, dealing with accidental damage, or responding to evolving expectations from tenants.
Declan Shilton, CEO of Safe House Insurance, said:
“This partnership is an exciting opportunity for us to work alongside TDS, a trusted name in the private rental sector. Our shared vision is to offer affordable, yet thorough insurance solutions that address the real concerns faced by landlords and tenants. We’re confident this collaboration will help set new standards in the industry, making it safer and more secure for everyone.”

All insurance products in the partnership are available through TDS Landlord+, a free membership service offering exclusive deals and professional support for landlords. In addition to insurance, TDS Landlord+ provides access to a wide range of practical tools and trusted partners, helping landlords manage their properties with greater ease and confidence.
