What can I insure as a rental property?

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.
