I was just thinking about whether they could bundle something into council tax on an opt out basis. It would be really basic cover (but better than nothing) and folk could opt out if they want to do something themselves.there is arguably a lack of financial literacy related to why people don't have it. It's something many may "get around to one day" and never do. I also suspect the perception is it is less significant for renters as the LL needs to insure the property/bricks/mortar.
Remember working for a housing assoc and we had a fire in a property xmas eve. family got out, and we moved them into alternative accommodation, and the HA gave them £250 (it was over 10 years ago mind, so 250 would get you a fair bit!)
There is also the fact that it simply isn't affordable, or is way lower on the list of priorities.
I suppose something similar to what they did with pensions.
