Am I covered if my tenant damages my property or its contents?

Your policy covers liability claims made against you for any one incident up to $20 million. This includes legal costs when our lawyers handle your claim.

To understand what we cover under liability, please read the Product Disclosure Statement (PDS)

Yes, you're covered if your tenant stops paying rent or leaves without giving notice during the term of their rental agreement.

However, if you took out a new policy from 14 June 2020 to 17 April 2021, your policy won’t have rent default cover until your policy renews.

To understand what's covered under rent default, please read the Product Disclosure Statement and the Supplementary Product Disclosure Statement on the policy booklets page.

Accidental Damage Cover is an option you can choose when you get a home insurance quote. It covers things like:

• Your child accidentally knocked your TV over and broke the screen
• You were up in your roof and accidentally put your foot through the ceiling.

You can choose Accidental Damage Cover for your building, your contents or both. It's automatically included in Building Plus and Contents Plus policies.

For more information on Accidental Damage Cover, read our Product Disclosure Statement or call us on 132 132.

A rental property is any enclosed building at your premises that has walls, a roof and can be locked up.

Your rental property also includes home improvements such as garages, carports, in ground pools, or fixtures that are permanently attached to your home. For example, light fixtures, built in wardrobes and kitchen cupboards.

If your rental property is a flat or unit, it also includes lockable storage that's reserved for you inside the complex.

Yes, you're covered under Home Buildings Insurance for the reasonable costs of temporary accommodation for you, your family and your pets if we agree you can't live in your home.

If you're a tenant and have a Home Contents policy with us, we'll cover reasonable extra rent costs for your temporary accommodation.
