"In summary these provisions state that if a landlord is insured a tenant is exonerated fromliability."

TT ruling number 4014869 - Reason 2.

-------------

One question springs to mind. The ruling states "if a landlord is insured".

So, if the landlord's insurance excludes any coverage for accidental damage by a tenant will the tenant still be be exonerated from liability?

Also just spotted this decision.

Interesting, yet another variation from a different adjudicator. I have a case that has given a very similar result, but the adjudicator has held it over for 3 weeks while I determine if the landlord is actually covered or not. In the mean time the bond remains with Tenancy Services though !

Yet another reason not to be a landlord and provide rental housing for those who need it.

Unless you are a commercial landlord or the tenant owns the building and you the landlord owns the freehold
