payment protection insurance
Explanation:
This is the standard term, certainly in the UK, used for leasing, bank loans, all sorts. There may be a different term in the US, as most google hits are UK.

Just to explain: the reason I suggested this and disagreed with the options to do with \"rent\" etc, is that I am confused by Titia\'s note in the question that the subject area is a \"lease agreement\". In the UK we would not generally use the word \"lease\" in a housing context - we would say \"rental agreement\" or even more likely \"letting agreement\". Lease suggests lease on a car, or on a piece of equipment, etc!

So if it is to do with letting a house, indeed go for one of the other suggestions! :-)

Short, evocative - and I did live in the UK for a long time and Andrew is entirely right about the differences between leasing, letting and rental agreements.

(loss of) rent insurance


Explanation:
per Dietl/Lorenz:

Mietausfallversicherung = rent insurance
Mietausfall = loss of rent

"Loss of rent insurance" seems to be quite customary (see below).

neutral  Cilian O'Tuama: f the policyholder is unable to make due payments yes, but that's not necessarily the case here. I understood it to be if the tenants/occupants of the leased building fail to pay their rent to the policyholder. Would that also be covered by your term?
32 mins
  -> Hi Cilian - no, I don't think my term would cover rent issues. But the reason I made my suggestion is that the poster had put "lease agreement" as the subject area, and we wouldn't normally use the term "lease" in a rental/housing context (IMO).
disagree  Gisela Greenlee: payment protection covers a very narrow range and has nothing to do with rent payments
3 hrs
  -> Hi. See my note to Cilian above
neutral  writeaway: not all differences are a UK/US issue. don't think it's the right term here. My legal dico (purportedly using UK English)gives loss of rent insurance.

XXX default insurance


Explanation:
The point is you are taking about defaulting on rental payments; the insurance is against this.
cf:
rental default insurance
tenant " "
lease " "
(depends on the country you are translating for)

You might also translate it generically as "landlord's insurance" (e.g. including theft by tenant).
