Why Landlord Insurance?
A residential investment property needs to be appropriately protected. Landlord Insurance can give you the confidence that your property will be looked after should something go wrong. Ian Berry Insurance Landlord Insurance covers the property and/or the contents you provide for your tenant’s use.
To help you decide the cover you need, Here’s a brief outline of the difference between buildings and contents cover.
Buildings
- Designed to cover the physical structures that make up your property, like the house itself, garage, sheds, permanently installed swimming pools and decks.
Contents
- Designed to cover items at your property – from furniture, white goods and removable domestic appliances which belong to you as the landlord and that you have provided for the use of your tenant. It also covers your carpets and window furnishings.
Choose your cover
The better you understand your policy, the easier it will be if you ever have to claim. Here is a limited summary of the benefits of a Landlord Insurance policy. For full details of the standard terms, conditions, limits and exclusions that apply please read the Product Disclosure Statement (PDS), any applicable supplementary PDS before making a decision to purchase the insurance. The Landlord Buildings and Landlord Contents Key Fact Sheets (KFS) also sets out some information about the cover.
Select the cover to suit your needs (effective 22 February 2021).

Landlord Insurance Calculators
It’s up to you to decide the sums insured, and the type and level of cover that you want to take out. People generally want enough insurance to cover the property’s estimated replacement value. If you don’t have enough cover, you could end up having to cover some of the costs yourself. Remember, Allianz will only pay up to the amount of your loss or the sum insured, whichever is the lesser (subject to the policy terms and conditions) – so you should also be careful not to over insure. That’s why we’ve provided these calculators. They work as guides to help you estimate the replacement value of your landlord buildings and contents.

1. Online discount
[Landlord] When you buy a new Landlord Insurance policy online a premium discount of up to 10% is applied to your first year’s premium including the optional covers (if selected) Flood & Rent Default and Theft by Tenant. This discount is not applied on renewal.
4. Minimum premiums
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. For example, the aggregate effect of applying two 10% discounts consecutively means that you will not see the full benefit of both these discounts.
Discounts do not apply to taxes or government charges.
Discounts do not apply to optional covers for Domestic Workers’ Compensation / Landlord Workers’ Compensation, and may not apply to other optional covers (if available and selected).
Any discounts/entitlements may be subject to rounding and may only apply to the extent that any minimum premium is not reached.
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 waiting period
We do not provide cover for any loss of or damage to your property caused by cyclone, grassfires and bushfires, during the first 72 hours after you first purchase a policy or increase your cover under an existing policy.
