Tailor Your Landlord Insurance To You

For an additional premium, you can upgrade your Landlord Insurance by adding any of the following optional covers to your policy:

Tenant Default

In case your tenant fails to pay their rent or leaves unexpectedly.

Flood Cover

Covers your home for loss or damage caused by flooding rivers, creeks, lakes, dams and other bodies of water.§

Theft & Malicious Damage by Tenants

For a fire maliciously lit by your tenant, Budget Direct will pay up to the sums insured. For all other loss or damage, when they insure your home, they will pay up to $150,000 and when they insure your contents, they will pay up to $20,000.

Sum Insured Safeguard

If your nominated sum insured is insufficient to repair, rebuild or replace your home, we’ll increase it by up to 25% (e.g. from $400,000 to $500,000).

You can add one or more of these optional covers when you get a quote and buy a policy. If you’ve already bought a policy, you can add them by contacting us, or logging into your online account and editing your policy.

§The addition of Flood Cover to a policy is subject to our underwriting criteria.
