Dundee City Council is responsible for the insurance of the building, fixtures, fittings and any furniture provided by us as part of the tenancy agreement.

Tenants are strongly recommended to take out household contents insurance to protect their belongings from loss or damage.

The council makes it easy for you to insure your belongings under a Home Contents Insurance scheme and you can pay the premiums along with your rent. The insurance is arranged with an independent insurance company and is available only to council tenants. The insurance scheme is not just for new tenants, all tenants can join at any time during their tenancy.

We are also now able to offer a full accidental damage policy, personal belongings cover, hearing aids cover and wheelchair/mobility scooter cover for an additional premium.

All new policies taken out will get 4 weeks free insurance when you join the scheme.
