These frequently asked questions provide useful information about landlord insurance.

What is rent default?

Rent default covers the weekly amount which your rental property is leased for (up to $5,000) less any excess and bond money that applies if:

  • your tenant leaves your rental property before the end of the tenancy agreement without giving you or your agent notice,
  • your tenant is legally evicted from your rental property, or
  • your tenant stops paying rent owed to you or your agent.

Legal costs  may be covered if you incur such cost as a result of rent default or theft by a tenant (up to $5,000) to legally evict a tenant, recover amounts owed to you by a tenant that apply to a claim under your policy, or recover amounts for items stolen from your rental property by a tenant or their visitors, unless the legal costs are solely to recover excesses.

What is loss of rent?

Any loss of rent equal to the weekly amount as stated on your Rental Agreement or Periodic Tenancy Agreement for up to 12 months and a maximum of $52,000 if your buildings or sections of your buildings suffer loss or damage and are uninhabitable as a result.

Loss of rent is covered when loss or damage to your buildings occurs as a result of an event as listed in your policy or access to your rental property is prevented due to loss or damage to other property located near your rental property.

Do I need landlord insurance if I own a strata title unit?

If you own a strata title unit, the body corporate is responsible for insuring the building. In general, the Body Corporate insurance offers cover for buildings, but not usually for contents like carpets or blinds in your unit or rent default so you may still need insurance for your contents and loss of rental income.

It is recommended that you check with body corporate insurance to confirm what is covered.
