What do different types of Home and Contents Insurance cover?
Home Insurance
Also known as Building Insurance, Home Insurance is all about those four walls that matter most to you. Your cover could help replace broken windows from a robbery and even rebuild your home from the ground up after a natural disaster. Depending on the policy, you may have cover to live somewhere else until the work is done.
Contents Insurance
Whether you’re quite content with a few possessions or prefer to have some luxuries, Contents Insurance could help repair or replace your valuables if they’re damaged, broken or stolen. You can even specify the price of particular pieces that carry more than just a high sentimental value.
Landlord Insurance
Landlord Insurance may help you expand the coverage for your rental property. It could help you out of a tight spot if your tenant defaults on their rent, your property becomes unliveable, or Fido decides it’s time to remodel the living room.
Portable Contents Insurance
If you’d never be caught out of the house without your signature pearls or just simply can’t imagine a life without text messages, this cover might be up your alley. Commonly carried items like your phone, laptop and jewellery could be repaired or replaced by your insurer, even if they were damaged while you were on the go.

Do I need Landlord Insurance in NSW?
It’s not compulsory to get Landlord Insurance in NSW but it could still be a good idea. An investment property has the same risks as the home you live in, like fire, storms and theft. But there’s some new risks to watch out for too. From tenants defaulting on their rent or the property becoming uninhabitable, your passive income stream could dry up quicker than a full load of wet laundry under the summer sun. Landlord Insurance though could ease the damage to your financials.
