Legal Expense Insurance for Residential Landlords

Every landlord hopes to have a straightforward, trouble-free relationship with their tenants but sadly more often than not this isn’t the case. If things go wrong such as a tenant refusing to pay rent or damaging the property, it will likely be time consuming and expensive to sort out. This is where our unique Landlord’s Legal Expense Insurance product can help.

If someone damages, trespasses on or causes a nuisance to a property

To pursue legal rights to repossess the property that has been let under a tenancy agreement

In pursuit of recovery of rent arrears if a tenant falls into arrears and continues to ignore reminders for payment

If the landlord faces criminal charges for action taken in the capacity of the landlord such as unlawful entry to a rented property

If you face an investigation by the ATO regarding the property

From $730 per property p.a.
