FAQs about Everyday Landlord Insurance
A Everyday Landlord Insurance policy is suitable for landlords looking for a rental agreement of more than three months duration. It should be kept in good repair and be reasonably protected from loss or damage. It also must comply with local government and statutory requirements. It shouldn't be:
Used for holiday letting, temporary sharing or house-sitting arrangements
Under construction or major repair
The cost of your cover will depend on factors like the property's value, the range of contents you're insuring, your address and other factors. It will also depend on your excess. This is the amount you will need to contribute to a claim. Everyday Landlord Insurance lets you choose your own excess, although special excesses may apply to some claims.
Malicious acts and theft by tenants: Your excess is the higher of either your chosen excess, or $500
Rent default and legal expenses: These claims have a fixed excess of $400
The claiming procedure is generally the same as home insurance. Where applicable you'll need to provide appropriate evidence of ownership and value, such as:
Receipts
Valuation certificates
Card or bank statements
Instruction manuals
Warranties
Photos
Generally, you should contact Everyday Landlord Insurance as soon as reasonably possible, on the 24 hour claims line, if you intend to make a claim.
If you're making a claim for theft, vandalism or other criminal acts you should contact the police first and get a police report.

Important information about this website
Finder makes money from featured partners, but editorial opinions are our own.
Finder is one of Australia's leading comparison websites. We are committed to our readers and stand by our editorial principles.
We try to take an open and transparent approach and provide a broad-based comparison service. However, you should be aware that while we are an independently owned service, our comparison service does not include all providers or all products available in the market.
Some product issuers may provide products or offer services through multiple brands, associated companies or different labeling arrangements. This can make it difficult for consumers to compare alternatives or identify the companies behind the products. However, we aim to provide information to enable consumers to understand these issues.
We make money by featuring products on our site. Compensation received from the providers featured on our site can influence which products we write about as well as where and how products appear on our page, but the order or placement of these products does not influence our assessment or opinions of them, nor is it an endorsement or recommendation for them.
Products marked as 'Top Pick', 'Promoted' or 'Advertisement' are prominently displayed either as a result of a commercial advertising arrangement or to highlight a particular product, provider or feature.

When products are grouped in a table or list, the order in which they are initially sorted may be influenced by a range of factors including price, fees and discounts; commercial partnerships; product features; and brand popularity.
