Frequently asked questions

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 damage

By ‘malicious’ we mean 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 is covered.

We don’t mean accidents, reckless or negligent acts, 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.
