FAQs

Rental property insurance, or landlord insurance, is designed to provide property owners with financial protection against losses related to their rental properties. This type of insurance typically covers damage to the property from fire, storm or other risks, as well as loss of rental income due to tenant default or property unavailability. It also often includes liability coverage, which protects the landlord in case of injuries or accidents on the property.

Rental property insurance typically covers damage to the building caused by fire, severe weather and other risks, such as vandalism. It often includes liability protection in case someone is injured on the property, safeguarding the landlord against potential lawsuits. Insurance for rental properties can also cover loss of rental income, ensuring landlords maintain their cash flow if the property becomes temporarily uninhabitable due to covered damages or tenant issues.

As a specialist underwriter, SGUA offers a wide range of cover options to suit the needs and coverage preferences of a range of investors, from standard landlord protection to comprehensive holiday property protection.

SGUA offers a range of property insurance coverage options, including specific policies for landlords. These policies protect residential investment properties under long-term tenancies or holiday properties used for short-term stays or as secondary residences. Coverage typically includes building and contents protection, legal liability up to $20 million and loss of rent due to various defined events.

For landlords, SGUA provides policies that can be customised or chosen from fixed home and contents packages to suit different needs. These policies cover accidental physical loss or damage to contents, theft, legal expenses and tenant-related damages like deliberate destruction or damage caused by pets. They also cover the clean-up and repair costs associated with the production of controlled drugs.

Replacement cost coverage reimburses you for the cost to replace damaged or destroyed property with new materials, without factoring in depreciation. Actual cash value (ACV) coverage pays out based on the depreciated value of the property at the time of the damage or loss, which may be less than the cost to replace it. This typically makes replacement cost coverage more comprehensive than ACV.
Unfortunately we cannot cover multiple dwellings with different locations under the same Policy. If, however, there is more than one dwelling at the same location, i.e. 2a and 2b Smith Street that are owned by the same Insured and not Strata Titled, then yes you can.
Taking into account Building, Contents and Loss of Rent sums insured, our accumulation limit is currently $5m.
When opting to include all Tenancy covers, our ‘Fixed Price Product’ provides an automatic limit of up to $1,250 per week. Should the weekly rental amount exceed $1,250, our ‘Variable’ rate will automatically apply up to a maximum benefit of $4,000 per week.
Unoccupied properties will only be accepted under the Landlord Protection Policy, provided they are immediately available for rental, and will be unoccupied for no more than 90 days. If the property is expected to be unoccupied for more than 90 days then we will decline to offer terms.
Whilst we do ask that you allow up to 48 hours, you can usually expect to receive a response the following business day.
Unfortunately SGUA cannot offer cover for properties above the 26th parallel.
No. Flood is an included benefit as per our PDS, and is not an optional cover.
When occupancy of a property is changed from a long-term lease to short-term stays, the existing Policy must be cancelled and replaced with a new Holiday Property Policy, and vice-versa.

I would like to say a huge thank all around to the team at SGUA. Since May this year we have had quite a few properties fences that have come down with storms and myself and my property management team have had dealings with your claims department and I must say in all my years of property management SGUA are right up at the top for fast, efficient and wonderful service.

Simply the best. I have worked with a lot of insurance companies over the past 15+ years in property management but none compare with SGUA and TICA. They have a very experienced team that are easy to deal with during a claim and always make themselves available to discuss scenarios and to give advice. I can't recommend them enough.
