A residential investment property needs to be appropriately protected. Landlord insurance can give you the peace of mind and confidence that your property will be looked after should something go wrong. Allianz Landlord Insurance through Newcastle Permanent covers the property and/or the contents you provide for your tenant’s use. To help you decide the cover you need, here’s a brief outline of the difference between Buildings and Contents cover.

Landlord Buildings

  • Designed to cover the physical structures that make up your property, like the house itself, garage, sheds, permanently installed swimming pools and decks.

Landlord Contents

  • Designed to cover items at your property – from furniture, removable domestic appliances and white goods which belong to you as the landlord and that you have provided for the use of your tenant. It also covers your carpets and window furnishings.

    Allianz offers protection 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.

    In the event you require repair or replacement of your contents you own and provide for your tenant’s use. If you select buildings cover, Allianz will pay up to $10,000. Alternatively, if you select contents cover, Allianz will pay, up to the sum insured.

    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 after an insured event Allianz will pay for your loss of rent on the buildings for up to 12 months.

    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.

    When you need to make a claim Allianz are there for you with 24 hour claims lodgement available online, or you can call the claims line to commence the claims process over the phone.

    Allianz will cover contents in the open air (that you own and that you have provided for your tenants use) which have been lost or damaged by an insured event covered by your policy, up to a maximum amount of $1000.

  • Optional covers

    Cover for the compensation amount you are liable to pay if you employ a domestic worker and they are injured while working for you at the insured address. Only available in ACT, WA and TAS.

  • Calculators

    Landlord insurance calculators

    It’s up to you to decide the sums insured, and the type and level of cover that you want to take out.

    People generally want enough insurance to cover the property’s estimated replacement value. If you don’t have enough cover, you could end up having to cover some of the costs yourself.

    Remember, Allianz will only pay up to the amount of your loss or the sum insured, whichever is the lesser (subject to the policy terms and conditions) - so you should also be careful not to over insure. That's why we've provided these calculators. They work as guides to help you estimate the replacement value of your landlord building and contents.
