Rently, a Singapore-based finance and property tech platform, has launched a free home contents insurance plan for its Rently Care users residing in non-landed homes. Officially rolled out on 4 April 2025, the plan includes protection for home contents and up to three emergency repair services per coverage period, each valued at up to $110 (S$150). This initiative aims to enhance tenant security and convenience, aligning with Rently’s mission to simplify the rental process.
The insurance coverage, provided in collaboration with global insurtech company discovermarket, offers comprehensive protection against incidents such as fire and burst water pipes. It also covers valuables like jewellery and furs up to $730 (S$1,000), temporary accommodation costs if the residence becomes uninhabitable, and a multi-appliance extended warranty under the highest plan tier, covering up to $290 (S$400) for repairs or replacements.
Travis Chan, Product Manager at Rently, highlighted the importance of this offering, stating, “This move allows us to address a longstanding gap in the rental ecosystem by ensuring renters feel secure both financially and emotionally. We’re redefining what peace of mind looks like in the rental space.”
With over 13,000 rental scam cases reported in 2025, the need for enhanced rental security has become increasingly apparent. Rently’s new insurance plan provides a vital safety net for tenants and landlords navigating the complex rental market, further solidifying its commitment to making renting more transparent, safe, and efficient.
