Landlord Insurance

A specialised cover for investment property owners — adds tenant default and loss-of-rent on top of standard home insurance.

Landlord insurance is a tailored policy for investment property owners. It includes standard home (building) cover plus protections specific to renting — tenant default, malicious damage by tenants, loss of rent during repairs, and liability cover for tenant injuries. Standard home & contents policies usually exclude tenant-related damage, so landlords need a dedicated landlord product.
