“Great for Loans, deposits and everyday banking and makes you feel a bit warm a fuzzy. We moved all our loans across to their fixed rates a few years ago and they have been so helpful throughout the process and since.”

Cover for the unexpected

Allianz offers cover for your investment property for out of the ordinary but devastating events such as fire4, storm4 and burglary.

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). 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.

Making your buildings environmentally friendly

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.

Landlord contents

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.


Rental costs after an insured event

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.

Rebuilding and professional fees

If you have buildings cover and 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.

Debris removal

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

24/7 online claims lodgement

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 during business hours.

Contents in the open air at insured address

If you have contents cover, 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.

Frequently asked

What do I need to do if I need to make a landlord  insurance claim?

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 13 10 13 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 us for approval before you incur expenses you wish to claim. If you do not, we will pay for expenses incurred to the amount we would have authorised had you asked us first.

Am I covered for Flood?

Flood cover is an option on both Building and Contents in Home and Landlords policies. Please call Bank Australia on 132 888 to find out whether you are eligible for Flood cover. For full details of terms, conditions, limits and exclusions of all our home insurance cover options, please refer to the relevant Product Disclosure Statement any supplementary PDS and Landlord Buildings or Landlord Contents Key Fact Sheets. A 72 hour exclusion period may apply.4

How do I know if I have optional covers on my policy? 

You can apply to add these options to your policy when you start or renew it (or during your period of insurance) by contacting Bank Australia on 132 888. If you’re not sure whether you have added these cover options, you can check your policy schedule.

Who is the Landlord Insurance policy designed for?

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 provide 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 offer a Home and Contents product that has been specifically designed for homeowners or renters.

For more information on Home and Contents insurance, please visit the product page.

How should I determine the replacement value of my buildings?

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 building’s replacement value.

1. Online discount

When you quote and buy a new Landlord insurance policy online, a discount of up to 10% is applied to your first year's premium including the following optional covers (if selected); Flood and Rent Default and Theft by Tenant. This discount isn't applied on renewal.

If you are eligible for more than one discount, Allianz applies them in a predetermined order. This means any subsequent discount will be applied to the reduced premium amount after applying any prior discounts and the effect of the subsequent discount will be reduced.
