Our Landlord Insurance protects what’s important – your investment and income. You can rest assured that your rental property is covered for accidental damage and loss of rent.

Key benefits

  • Replacement cover

If you have taken steps to set an accurate Sum Insured and size of your home, unless the damage to your home is caused by a natural disaster, we will settle your claim using replacement cover. This means you’ll be covered for the full cost of the repairs or rebuild of your home. If you’re not sure how to do this please check out our sum insured page.

  • Loss of rent

If your rental is accidentally damaged and your tenants need to stay somewhere else, we’ll cover the rent up to $20,000 or six months, while we repair the damage to the property.

  • Optional Extended landlord cover

You can choose our Extended landlord cover, which offers additional protection that’s tailored to properties that are tenanted.

  • If your tenant or their guest deliberately damages or steals from your property, we will cover the damage or loss of up to $20,000.
  • We will cover up to eight weeks loss of rent if you need to evict your tenants, or if they leave without giving you the required notice.
  • Plus, if you find your tenants have been using or manufacturing illegal drugs we’ll pay up to $30,000 for decontamination and repair, including reimbursing you for the cost of discovering the contamination.

Please be aware this cover only applies if you have a current Tenancy Agreement in place at the time of the event. Please see your policy document for full limitations and exclusions.

  • Optional Excess-free glass cover

You do not have to pay an excess for claims for loss to glass in any of the following items that are part of your rental home:

  • windows, doors, screens and panels
  • permanently fixed mirrors, splashbacks or built-in furniture.

You are not covered under this benefit for any of the following:

  • damage, wear and tear or deterioration to your rental home that must be repaired to enable the glass to be fitted
  • the cost to repair or replace framing necessary to enable the glass to be fitted
  • the replacement of undamaged glass or parts of your rental home in order to create a match.

This page is only a summary of key benefits, and application for cover is subject to underwriting acceptance. For full details, exclusions and limitations, please read the policy document.
