Why Landlord Insurance is important

Landlord Insurance covers you for tenant-related losses. Things like loss of rent due to a tenant breaking their lease or being evicted, or damage caused to your contents by tenants, like drink spills on carpets. Other insurance may not cover these events, and very often, the bond won’t be enough to cover the associated costs.

Combine
and save

If you own a freestanding building, combine one of our Landlord Insurance products with our Residential Building Insurance and receive a 10% discount+ on your Residential Building Insurance policy.

Rated 4 out of 5 by from Great Insurance Product I bought this insurance today 12/11/2024, after researching several other similar products and found it to be easy to read and compare as well as being competively priced.

Rated 4 out of 5 by from Easy to Onboard Just purchased this insurance. Process was straightforward. Early days, but looks promising.

Rated 1 out of 5 by from Record our voices during a call against consent In this current age of privacy and security breaches online, AI technology that needs only 3 seconds to make a copy of our voices, this is an extreme breach of privacy and customers should be able to opt in and force us to accept our voices being recorded against our wishes. Not all questions can be dealt with online and it is necessary to speak to someone. Other issue I called to pay for a policy on 07 Nov 2024, and TS refused to take payment, and when requested, was not able to provide any evidence in writing provided to me indicating the policy would lapse on 06 Nov 2024. I wanted to discuss this with supervisor and she refused to put me through to supervisor. It was a pretty straightforward transaction to simply pay for a policy 1 day later, but the interaction was unhelpful and I found this company to be inflexible and not considerate of a client who has been with them for many years. They dont care!

Rated 5 out of 5 by from Just saved a heap switching to Terri Scheer I've been with another holiday rental insurer for years. Shopped around when I saw the renewal premium had doubled from last year. Terri Scheer was even cheaper than last year's premium.
