Your cover
Landlord's Home Insurance
Landlord's Home Insurance works just the same as a home policy but suits having renters living in the property. You'll be covered for things like sudden and accidental loss or damage, legal liability, loss of rent, natural disaster, post-event inflation, replacement of keys and locks, and sustainability upgrade.
Like with your home, it's important to have the right level of cover and regularly check how much it would cost to rebuild your rental home. Your sum insured should be the estimated maximum amount it would cost to repair or rebuild your home if it was damaged or destroyed. It needs to include costs for things like fences, driveways, demolition, debris removal, compliance, professional fees and GST.
Here are two options which could help you determine the sum insured for your rental home:
- Use the Cordell Sum Sure calculator, or
- Get an insurance valuation from a registered valuer or quantity surveyor.
Your sum insured amount can also impact your basis of settlement – the most we pay for loss or damage to your rental home:
Sum insured replacement
If your rental home is damaged or destroyed, we'll pay the costs to repair or rebuild your rental home up to your total sum insured, minus any applicable excess.
Replacement
If your rental home is damaged or destroyed by fire or an explosion, we'll pay the costs to repair or rebuild your rental home up to the same floor area - even if it ends up costing more than your home sum insured.
To qualify for Replacement cover:
- Use the Cordell Sum Sure calculator and choose a sum insured that's equal to or greater than the Cordell Sum Sure Estimate for your rental home, or
- Give us a call on 0800 200 252 to find out more about Replacement cover and how to qualify.
Limits still apply to certain items. Please refer to your policy wording for the full details as well as exclusions and other terms.
Landlord's Contents Insurance
Landlord's Contents Insurance works if you're providing some furniture, furnishings, appliances or linen for your rental home.
If your rental home is already covered through a separate body corporate or strata policy, the Landlord's Contents policy can cover your loss of rent in certain situations and you can choose to add the Rent default optional benefit.
