Does AAMI landlord insurance protect you from loss of rental income?

AAMI’s landlord insurance policies cover loss of rent following an insured event. If AAMI accepts your claim for loss or damage and it agrees the rental property cannot be lived in, AAMI says it will pay the weekly rental amount for the reasonable amount of time it takes to repair or rebuild.

AAMI also allows you to add tenant protection as an optional extra. This is designed to protect you against the costs of unpaid rent and theft or malicious damage caused by your tenants and their guests. Check the PDS for more information.

AAMI Landlord Insurance FAQs

A landlord insurance policy generally provides you with cover should damage or loss be caused to your rental property due to events such as fire, flood and storm. AAMI landlord insurance also allows you to cover damage caused by tenants and their guests as an optional extra.

Under AAMI landlord building insurance, building cover includes items such as garages, car ports, gates, fences, decks and fixed swimming pools. Please check the PDS for more information on possible exclusions.

Landlord insurance can also protect property owners against damage to the contents they own in their investment home. This includes any furniture and household goods that are in the property for the use of the tenant.

AAMI landlord contents insurance covers contents such as carpet and rugs, blinds and curtains, furniture and kitchenware.

In insurance terms, a ‘defined event’ (also known as a ‘listed event’) on a policy is a damage-causing event which you’re insured for under that policy.

Flood
Storm
Lightning
Fire
Earthquake
Tsunami

Accidental breakage of glass
Escape of liquid
Impact

Flood damage can be treated as different to storm damage by certain insurers, and as a result you may not be automatically covered for it. AAMI says its landlord insurance covers flood and storm. Check the PDS for information about exclusions and conditions that may apply.

Landlord insurance policies may also offer additional benefits that can be added to suit your unique needs as a landlord for an extra fee. AAMI says you can add the following benefits to your landlord insurance policy:

Complete Replacement Cover – you may be able to insure your building under complete replacement cover rather than on a building sum insured basis.
Tenant Protection – this covers loss of rent due to tenant default, theft or burglary by tenants or their guests, malicious acts or vandalism by tenants or their guests, and replacement of locks.
