Have a question? We can help
What’s considered 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.
Am I covered if my tenant damages my property or its contents?
Yes, you’re covered if your tenant or their guest vandalises your property or intentionally causes loss or damage.
You and your tenant must have a valid rental agreement. Your policy doesn't cover damage resulting from wear and tear. For more information, please refer to the Product Disclosure Statement.
Can I choose my own repairer for my home repairs?
Yes, you can choose who repairs your home.
However, if you decide not to use one of our Partner Repairers, we won't be able to warrant the workmanship or repairs that are completed, or assist in managing the repairer throughout the repair on timeframes or quality.
We'll also only pay you the fair and reasonable amount that the repairs should cost.
Things you should know
Loss of rent during repairs is only covered under Landlord Buildings Insurance only, and you must have a valid rental agreement.
You’re covered for theft and vandalism if you have a valid written rental agreement.
