Cover Options

The level of cover you need will depend on the type of property you own. If your rental property is a house, you will need Building Insurance AND Landlord Insurance.

If your rental property is a unit within a complex and within an Owners Corporation (also known as a Body Corporate or Strata) you need Landlord insurance. The Owners Corporation should already have insurance cover for the building. If your property is used for short-stay accommodation or holiday rentals, please refer to our Holiday Property Protection Policy. To find out more about the different levels of cover click on the options below.

Landlord insurance covers the rental income that your property earns, public liability, malicious and accidental damage, pet damage and theft of the property contents (carpets, blinds, underlays, light fittings and any other household items owned by you for the tenants use).
