Frequently asked questions
Currently landlords are asked to give the following information to demonstrate loss of rental income, such as:
- Lease/Rental Agreement
- Rent roll
- Evidence of notices issued and/or determinations made by authorities (as applicable or available)
- Invoices for any allowable reletting expenses
- Details of bond monies held
Due to the COVID-19 situation, we understand that landlords may not be able to supply evidence of notices or determinations as set out above. Other examples of acceptable evidence of the loss can include:
- Evidence that the tenant has provided to prove they’re unable to pay rent – e.g. redundancy/termination notice, proof of JobSeeker/JobKeeper benefits etc.
- What other or Government assistance you, as a landlord, have applied for and what financial benefits you’re receiving
- Evidence of any revised/renegotiated Lease rental amount
- If you’re receiving savings from reduced real estate agent fees
- What actions you’ve taken to mitigate your losses
- Whether you’ve agreed to offer any rental deferment periods to the tenant
- Notify us of your claim online as soon as reasonably possible, or call our claims department on13 10 13 and one of our friendly consultants will take you through the claims process
- Try to get names and addresses of witnesses, if there are any
- Don’t make any admissions of liability and don’t attempt to settle any claim made against you

Where we accept the claim for your mobile device, we may need you to provide a repair report from a mobile phone repairer so we can reimburse this cost. If your mobile device has been lost or stolen, we may need you to show us evidence of ownership in the form of either:
- A receipt
- Confirmation from your phone provider
- Other evidence agreed with us, as well as a police report number
We’ll then either pay you the cost to repair your mobile device, or where needed, arrange replacement through one of our supply partners. If you plan to take this opportunity to upgrade your mobile device, we can discuss this with you during your claim.

Strata and Community title properties can be very complex situations, and laws vary from state to state in regards to what is the responsibility of the Strata and what is your responsibility as a unit owner.
In most cases, if you’re claiming for a fixed item in your Strata unit, such as flooring, kitchens, air conditioning, wall or ceiling damage, bathrooms etc, we’d need you to provide written confirmation from your Strata Corporation confirming whether they cover this damage, and if not, explaining why. We’ll then be able to discuss how we can best help you.
For any claim for rent default or departure without notice, we’ll need you to have issued all the relevant notices required under your lease agreement, or through your state/territory tenancies act.
We’ll also need to see copies of the lease agreement you have with the tenant, along with rental ledgers to show the rental payment history. As coverage can be different on each policy depending on the options selected, we’re happy to discuss the cover available to you on 13 10 13.
