What landlord insurance policies does QBE offer?
QBE offers three landlord insurance policies – building & contents insurance, buildings insurance, and contents insurance.
The building & contents policy covers several key risks in order to ensure peace of mind for both tenants and landlords, including:
- Cover for loss of rent – both for inhabitability after an insured event and if your tenant defaults on their payment (rent default is available as an optional extra).
- Damage caused by natural disasters or malicious acts.
- Accidental glass breakage
- Legal liability – for damage to third parties occurring on your property.
- Contents including furniture and furnishings
- Keys and locks
Exclusions may apply when it comes to making a landlord insurance claim. Some common exclusions include:

- Pre-existing damage
- Any costs associated with the cleaning up or removal of asbestos
- Vermin or insects
- Invasion or war
- Erosion
