Landlords Insurance

If you own a home or unit and lease it out you should have a specific Landlords Insurance policy.

This policy is similar to a normal home and contents policy in that you can insure the building and contents if it is a furnished home/unit.  In addition to this standard type cover the landlords policy also provides the following additional options;

  • Loss of Rent following damage to the premises
  • Malicious Damage by tenants
  • Theft by tenants
  • Rent Default, provided you have a lease lodged with the rental bond board.

The legal liability section of the landlords insurance policy is also specifically worded to provide protection to you as a landlord.

You need to take care if your home/unit is used for holiday accommodation, a number of Landlords policies and insurers do not cover holiday accommodation.  (Even if they issue cover a claim may be denied as they will exclude holiday accommodation use)

To this end we have negotiated exclusive products able to provide cover for holiday accommodation as well as the ability to buy a grouped policy if your unit is part of a holiday unit complex.
