This means protecting ourselves against loss, so Building, Liability and Landlord Protection Insurances are vital to achieve maximum protection when unexpected events occur.

Unexpected events occur to most people at some point and, (as much as we like to avoid paying the premiums), it is only when unforeseen events occur that we truly appreciate our decision to insure. Such events might include a Renter’s loss of employment, death, injury or even natural disaster, so smart investors ‘ensure that they insure’ to gain peace of mind. Landlord Protection Insurance is particularly relevant when considering the protection of annual rent return on an investment property.

Even with the very best of intentions, unforeseeable events can sometimes lead to financial hardship for a Renter, and this can lead to issues with rent arrears and other tenancy defaults. For little more than $200+ a year, Residential Rental Providers can rest assured that they won’t miss out on rent if a tenant defaults.

In most cases, your rent will be protected from when one Renter stops until the next Renter starts to pay, along with any clean-up costs.
