AIG, SRX launch insurance policy to replace rent security deposits

AIG Landlord Insurance will cover loss and damages not limited to the amount of the deposit.

AIG Singapore and property tech firm SRX have teamed up for an insurance policy that will replace security deposits, according to a press release.

AIG Landlord Insurance will cover loss and damages not limited to the amount of the deposit, whilst tenants can skip the deposit by purchasing the policy at a lower price than their monthly rent, therefore removing the upfront cash deposit.

Policyholders will be covered up to $50,000 (US$37,080) for loss or damage to renovations and lost rent, and $20,000 (US$14,832) for loss or damage to contents. This policy is currently only offered for whole unit rentals.

SRX members can purchase the policy online through its website.

A NOTE FROM SINGAPORE BUSINESS REVIEW

Reaching the people who run Asia's businesses is harder than it used to be.

Inboxes are crowded. Attention is short. The executives you most want to reach — the founders, CFOs, and operators who actually move budgets — are the hardest to find through the usual channels. If you're building a company, a category, or a reputation, you already know this.

We've spent twenty years building the room they read. Singapore Business Review is where senior decision makers in Singapore and across Southeast Asia come for business coverage they can't get elsewhere — in print, online, and in person at the summits and roundtables we host across seven markets.

If you have something these readers should know about — a point of view worth publishing, a product worth their attention, an event worth their time — we'd like to hear what you're trying to do.
