Benefits at a glance
-
If your rental home is destroyed by a fire:
If your rental home qualifies for ‘Replacement’ cover, we’ll pay the cost to repair or rebuild it - even if it costs more than your home sum insured.* -
If your landlord’s contents are damaged or stolen:
We’ll repair or replace chattels (like whiteware and other appliances) and furnishings (like furniture or linen) that are 10 years old or newer. -
If your rental home becomes unliveable because of something we cover:
We’ll pay up to $30,000 of lost rent if the loss or damage to your rental home or its landlord’s contents makes your rental home unfit to live in, or if a government or local authority has ordered an evacuation.
-
If your tenant leaves their things behind:
We’ll pay up to $10,000 to remove their abandoned items so you can rent your property out again.
-
If your tenant moves out with rent owing:
Add the ‘Rent default’ optional benefit to either your Landlord’s Home or Landlord’s Contents policy, and we’ll cover up to 15 weeks of lost rent if your tenant moves out without notice or is evicted due to unpaid rent. -
If your rental home or landlord’s contents are damaged by hidden leaks:
We’ll cover up to $3,000 a year for hidden gradual damage caused by water leaking from an internal tank or internal plumbing.
