Everything you are saying makes sense, and I wish I had, had read this before it happened to me. I never even dreamed this could happen, but we are where we are. Anyone reading this should definitely heed your advice, best of luck to OP and everyone in a similar situation out there....

Rent insurance does not cover against void periods. It is up to thelandlord to balance losses of non payment against losses from voidperiods. I do not use rent insurance as sometimes its better to let to a tenant on benefit and risk non payment.

by jpkeates

No you don't need to provide anything again.
The Deregulation Act fixed that for all tenancies with a deposit received on or after 6th April 2007.

You don't need to do anything at all as long as the landlord, property and tenant(s) are the same.
Provided the deposit was protected and the prescribed information served within the original 30 day deadline, you're fine.
