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

The people you want to reach are already in this room.

Every quarter, SBR lands on the desks of the founders, CFOs, and directors running Asia's most consequential companies. Every day, they open our newsletter and read our website. It's a room that took twenty years to build — and it's the one most of our partners are trying to get into.

The good news is that the door is open. We work with companies on thought leadership articles, sponsored content, industry summits across Southeast Asia, regional awards programmes, podcasts, and media placements in print and digital. The shape of the right partnership depends on what you're trying to do, which is why we'd rather start with a conversation than send a rate card.


If you have something this room should know about, tell us. We'll tell you honestly whether we can help, and how.

No rate cards until we understand the brief. It's a better use of everyone's time.
