Legal liability - 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).

Landlord Insurance questions and answers

Do what you reasonably can to prevent further loss, damage or liability. Tell the police as soon as reasonably possible about any malicious damage, theft, attempted theft, burglary or loss of insured property.

Contact the Claims Call Centre on 1300 555 030 and advise the Claims Consultant of what has happened: the Claims Consultant will help you through the landlord insurance claims process.

In order to be sure that you are covered under this policy you should always contact Allianz for approval before you incur expenses you wish to claim. If you do not, Allianz will pay for expenses incurred to the amount we would have authorised had you asked Allianz first.

This insurance policy has been designed for people who are renting their property out to tenants under a residential rental agreement.

Contents owned by you (or for which you are legally responsible) and provided for the use of the tenants may also be covered under the policy.

This policy is not suitable for covering the building or contents of the home you live in. In this regard, Allianz offers a Home and Contents product that has been specifically designed for homeowners or renters.

You can find more information on Home and Contents Insurance and Landlord Insurance on our website.

The replacement value of your buildings is not the same as the market value – you do not need to include the value of the land when calculating the buildings replacement value.

1. Online discount - When you both quote and buy a new Landlord insurance policy online a premium discount of up to 10% is applied to your first year's premium. This discount is not applied to Landlord workers' compensation (if available and selected), or upon renewal. Minimum premiums may apply.

4. Minimum premiums - Where discounts are applied, your premium is subject to rounding. If more than one discount applies, they're applied in a predetermined order, so the later discounts apply to the amount already reduced by the earlier discounts instead of the total amount. Discounts do not apply to government taxes and charges. Most discounts won't apply below the minimum amount payable for the policy.

6. Instalment premiums - If you choose to pay your premium by instalments you do not pay us any more than if you pay your premium in one lump sum annually. The premiums payable by instalments may be subject to minor adjustments (upwards or downwards) due to rounding. Note: Your financial institution may apply transaction fees to instalment payments.

7. 72 hour exclusion period - We may not provide cover for any loss of or damage to your property caused by cyclone, grassfires and bushfires, and certain other insured events during the first 72 hours after you first purchase a policy. Refer to the PDS for a full list of the insured events to which the 72 hour exclusion period applies and the relevant exceptions.
