FAQs
Do I need landlord insurance if I already have home insurance?
Yes. Standard home insurance is designed for owner-occupied properties and often excludes rental-specific risks like tenant damage, rent loss, and liability related to leasing your property.
What does residential landlord insurance typically cover?
Cover can include building damage, tenant-related damage, loss of rental income, liability protection, and landlord-owned fixtures or contents. We help tailor the policy to suit your property, tenancy arrangement, and level of risk.
Does landlord insurance cover unpaid rent or rent default?
Many policies include rent default or loss of rental income cover, but inclusions and limits vary between insurers. We’ll help you understand your options and ensure your rental income is properly protected.
Can I insure multiple residential investment properties?
Absolutely. If you own several investment properties, we can help structure your insurance to suit your portfolio, ensuring each property has consistent and appropriate protection in place.
What happens if I need to make a claim?
We support you throughout the claims process from start to finish. That includes helping with documentation, communicating with the insurer, and guiding the process to help achieve the best possible outcome with minimal stress.
