Landlord insurance

Allianz offers cover for your investment property for out of the ordinary but devastating events such as fire^#, storm^# and burglary.

Allianz will cover your legal liability up to $20 million for payment of compensation relating to death, bodily injury or illness, and/or physical loss of or damage to property caused by an accident (or series of accidents). If you have contents cover only, it does not cover any legal liability you may incur as owner of the buildings unless the buildings are defined as a lot.

If your buildings are totally destroyed and need to be rebuilt, in addition to your buildings sum insured, Allianz will pay up to $5,000 (after deduction of any government or council rebates) to help you make the new buildings more environmentally friendly.

Allianz will pay for repair or replacement of contents you own and provide for your tenant’s use as a result of an insured event. If you have buildings cover only, Allianz will pay up to the lesser of $10,000 or the remainder of the sum insured after payment of the buildings claim, for certain landlords contents under this additional benefit.

If your buildings are damaged by an insured event and can’t be lived in by your tenant, or access to or use of the buildings is not possible for at least 7 days after an insured event Allianz will pay for your loss of rent on the buildings for up to 12 months if you have buildings cover or if your building is part of a strata title development and you have contents cover only.

If you need to rebuild your buildings after total loss or damage, Allianz will help pay the reasonable costs of architects, engineers, surveyors and solicitors up to $5,000.

Allianz will pay up to 10% of the building and/or contents sum insured for removing debris from your insured address if your buildings are damaged or destroyed by an insured event.
