Frequently asked questions
Are there any exclusions?
All insurance policies have exclusions, and these vary depending on the type of cover you choose. For a summary of the exclusions, conditions and limits that may apply to Landlord Insurance, read the Understand my cover section.
How can the condition of my investment property affect my cover?
It is important to keep on top of your property repairs to ensure little things don’t become a bigger issue down the track. For example, if a storm caused water damage to your ceiling, you may not be fully covered if the water entered because the roof was not properly maintained.
Do I need to tell Allianz if I’ve installed or removed an alarm system?
Yes. Altering the security on your investment property may change the conditions of your Landlord Insurance, which could affect your premium. You should call Allianz as soon as you remove or stop using any security devices that were specifically required under your policy. If you don’t, let them know, and you need to make a claim, your claim may be declined or reduced.
Do I need to let Allianz know about any renovations to my investment property?
Yes. You should let Allianz know before work commences if the building alterations, additions, demolition, repairs, or decorations are over $75,000. If you don’t, let them know, and you need to make a claim, your claim may be declined or reduced.
You should also consider increasing your sum insured to include the cost of any extensions or renovations to make sure you are adequately covered if you need to make a Landlord Insurance claim.
