Arc Legal Group has developed a rent guarantee insurance product with Markerstudy Distribution. The scheme will be available to landlord customers through Swinton Insurance, which is part of Markerstudy Distribution. It adds to the legal expenses cover that Arc Legal already provides to residential property owners through Swinton Insurance.

The Renters’ Rights Act comes into force on 1st May 2026 and provides enhanced protections for renters which are set to increase the time it takes for landlords to pursue eviction claims.

Craig Lane, partnership manager at Arc Legal, said: “We are delighted to strengthen our partnership with Markerstudy Distribution and the Swinton brand with this launch. Rent guarantee gives landlords greater peace of mind, particularly with the implementation of the Renters’ Rights Act looming.”

Karl Askey, ancillaries manager at Markerstudy Distribution, added: “We value our long-standing relationship with Arc Legal and are pleased to be enhancing our offering to customers with the introduction of rent guarantee insurance. This addition enhances the protection available to landlords and reflects our shared commitment to provide high-value solutions, particularly in light of the significant changes the Renters’ Rights Act will bring.”
