What's covered for Landlords
Your Building
In Building & Contents, and Building Only Insurance
Showing of
Cover for damage to the building
Also includes outbuildings like garages and sheds, and other permanent fixtures like fences, decks and solar panels.
Cover for third party liability
Up to $20 million legal liability can help you take care of legal and other costs if someone suffers injury, death or property damage at your rented property and you’re liable.
Loss of rent following an insured event
If the rented property cannot be lived in or re-leased, we will pay the weekly rental amount for the time it should take to repair or rebuild the building so that it can be lived in again or re-leased, for up to 52 weeks and the most we will pay is $25,000 if you have building cover.
Motor burnout cover
If the motor in one of your fixed appliances burns out or fuses and that motor is less than 7 years old, we'll help you take care of repair or replacement.
Your Contents
In Building & Contents, and Contents Only Insurance
Showing of
Loss or damage to your contents
If loss or damage to your landlord contents is covered under your policy your contents may be replaced, repaired or we may pay you. We will aim to use a member of our supplier network to repair or replace damaged contents. Sometimes this is not always possible or practical and this will determine how your contents claim will be settled. Refer to your PDS for how we settle contents claims.
New for old for your lost or damaged contents items
New for old means replace or repair:
- with new items or new materials
- regardless of age
- to the same type, standard, and specification (however, not brand) as when new (or if not reasonably available, similar type, standard and specification).
For a full definition of ‘new for old’ and for info on how we settle contents claims, refer to the PDS.
Storage of undamaged contents
If some of your contents escape damage from an insured event, but they can't be kept at home – say, if they'll be exposed to the elements during repair work – we'll cover the reasonable cost to store them and packing, unpacking and transporting them to the temporary place of storage (and back again) until they can be kept at your home again. The most we’ll pay for any one incident is up to 10% of your contents sum insured.
Motor burnout cover
If the electric motor in your household equipment or appliances, which is part of your landlord contents, burns out or fuses and that motor is less than 7 years old, we’ll help you take care of repair or replacement.
Optional Covers
Showing of
Complete Replacement Cover
For buildings only
Our best protection against underinsurance. If your building is damaged or destroyed by an insured event covered under your policy, we'll repair or rebuild your rental property as it was or pay the total amount of the assessed quote to repair or rebuild it – without you having to set a building sum insured.
Tenant Protection
Extra cover to protect you against the costs of unpaid rent, theft or malicious damage by your tenant and their guests.
Insured Events
These are the events that you can make a claim for, if they cause loss or damage to your contents. There are limits, conditions and exclusions which apply, so check out the policy documents to make sure you’re up to speed.
Showing of
Flood
Including water overflowing from things like lakes, rivers, or dams.
Storm
That's rain, wind, thunder, that sort of thing. FYI, storm damage is one of our most common claims, so this is a biggie.
Storm surge
That's a rush of water pushed from the sea onto the land caused by very strong winds. It doesn't include actions or movements of the sea. The loss or damage caused by storm surge must happen at the same time as other insured damage caused by storm.
Lightning
Including power surges caused by lightning, will be covered providing a qualified repairer confirms lightning as the cause of loss or damage.
Fire
Loss or damage caused by fire (includes bushfire) and heat, ash, soot and smoke that is the direct result of a fire within 100 metres of the insured address.
Earthquake & Tsunami
These may not be likely, depending on where you live, but you'll be covered just in case.
Theft or burglary
This also includes attempted theft, if nothing is stolen but the attempt causes damage that needs repairing.
Escape of liquid
This refers to sudden and unexpected loss or damage caused by liquid escaping from certain appliances, fixed pipes, drains, waterbeds and more.
Impact
This refers to damage caused by impact from falling tree branches, power poles or TV antennas.
Damage by an animal
Not your pets, though. This refers to damage caused by animals (not insects, vermin or rodents) who aren’t supposed to be there.
Explosion
We cover the loss or damage caused by an explosion but we don’t cover the cost of replacing or repairing the item or container that exploded.
Riot, civil commotion or public disturbance
An example would be damage caused by a violent crowd moving down your street.
Malicious acts and vandalism
This includes things like vandals damaging your letterbox or tagging the building with graffiti.
Insured Events listed above apply to AAMI Home Insurance products, excluding Fire & Theft Contents Insurance which is limited to loss or damage by Fire, Theft or Burglary. We don't insure you for bushfire, storm, storm surge, flood or tsunami for the first 72 hours of your policy. Very limited exceptions apply. Read the PDS for more detail.

Estimate the cost to rebuild
This calculator can help you work out the estimated rebuild cost of your home to help you choose your sum insured.
Insurance is issued by AAI Limited ABN 48 005 297 807 trading as AAMI. Limits, conditions and exclusions apply. Any advice has been prepared without taking into account your particular objectives, financial situation or needs, so you should consider whether it is appropriate for you before acting on it. Read the Product Disclosure Statement before you make any decision regarding this product. The Target Market Determination is also available.
Malicious acts
By ‘malicious act’, we mean a single intentional and wilful act characterised by malice. That is, something done deliberately to harm your property.
For example, if your tenant smashes holes in the wall after they’ve been given an eviction notice, that’s considered malicious and can be covered.
We don’t mean accidents, reckless or negligent acts, wear and tear, or poor housekeeping, which aren’t covered. Examples of these are:
- Your tenant never empties the bins causing bad smells and infestation.
- Your tenant accidentally spills a glass of wine and ruins the carpet.
- The children of your tenant put a hole in the wall while playing indoors.
This is a just summary. For full details check the PDS (Product Disclosure Statement). It’s dry, we know, but it’s essential reading.
Currently unavailable
We are currently unable to offer Tenant Protection Optional Cover on new Landlord Insurance policies until further notice.

Check amount covered
In most cases, the replacement value of cars decrease over time, but in recent years, due to increased costs and constrained supply, we have seen some cars increase in value. As such, your amount covered will be automatically changed to reflect this.
You can increase or decrease your amount covered, within a specified range, and your premium will change accordingly.
You can also choose to insure your vehicle for Market Value. This will change your premium.
Refer to the PDS for details.
Kilometres driven
When you took out your policy, you would've given us an estimate of how much you drive your car in a year, and that figure informs your premium price. Usually, a higher estimate results in a higher premium, since your'e at greater risk of an incident. If you find yourself driving a lot less then you estimated, maybe because you're working from home or walking to the shops rather than driving, you can log in and adjust this figure. Doing so may reduce your premium a little.
Review listed drivers
Listing additional drivers on your policy can alter your premium, depending on their details and claims history. For example, if you have a teenager who used your car when they started driving but has since bought their own, they may no longer need to be listed. If you decide to remove them, your premium might be reduced.
Your address
If you've moved, make sure your address is updated on your policy. Your location can affect your premium, based on that location's level of risk, so your address being updated can result in your payments being adjusted. Fair warning; that adjustment can reduce your premium, or it may result in an increase. Either way, you'll ensure you're not at risk of having a claim denied or reduced due to incorrect address details.
Eligible policies
Eligible policies include Comprehensive Car Insurance.
Your excess
With AAMI Flexi-Premiums®, you can choose to lower your premium by increasing your excess This'll mean that, while your monthly or yearly premium is cheaper, you'll face more out-of-pocket costs if you make a claim where you're liable to pay an excess. Whether that trade-off is worth it is totally up to you, but it's worth considering.
