Home insurance for tenants, owners and landlords
The most suitable cover depends on your relationship to the property and what you want to protect.
Apartment Tenants
Renters can explore contents and personal-liability options for eligible belongings and risks within their rented home.

Think about what it would actually cost to replace your belongings
When arranging contents insurance, consider the total value of the household belongings you want insured rather than only the most expensive items.
Property owners seeking building cover should provide accurate information about the insured property so the relevant provider can assess the risk and suitable insured value.
- Furniture and household appliances
- Televisions, computers and electronics
- Clothing and personal belongings
- Jewellery and other valuables where applicable
- Residential building information for property owners
