Protecting your investment property

Landlord Insurance – Landlord insurance covers some particular risks associated with renting out a property that may not be covered by a typical home and contents or strata title insurance policy. We can recommend our preferred landlord insurer or any landlord insurer of your choice.

Common features of a landlord insurance policy includes:

Loss of rent if the tenant defaults on their payments
Malicious damage or Theft to the property by the tenant or their guests
Liability including a claim against you by the tenant
Cover for your contents within the property such as carpet and window furnishings.

It is important to understand that not all landlord insurance policies are the same and you should consult with your choice of insurer.

Smoke Alarm – Smoke Alarm inspection is recommended to conduct annually to compile with the regulations. We recommend to engage with a smoke alarm inspector company with fixed annual fee for the safety of your tenants. In case of a faulty smoke alarm, the smoke alarm inspector company will arrange time with tenant to fix.
