ANZ is one of Australia's most respected insurance providers. If you rely on rental income, it could be a lifeline when something inevitably goes wrong with your property. It can safeguard your investment from fires, floods, damaged belongings and more - so is it worth it for you? We've broken it down to make your decision easier.
We don't currently have this brand on our panel. But don't fret! You can head to the ANZ website or compare a bunch of other landlord insurance companies with Finder.
What cover options does ANZ landlord insurance offer?
ANZ landlord insurance offers three types of protection: combined building and contents insurance, building insurance and contents insurance. Here's what they do:
Building insurance. This looks after residential properties, including professional offices and surgeries, and more specifically the building itself. That means you're covered for any built-in parts of the building (like built-in air con and swimming pools) including walls, floors and ceilings as well as things like garden sheds, pipes, cables, meters and other permanent fixtures.
Contents insurance. This won't cover any of the above. Rather, it covers the contents of the property, including carpets, furniture, curtains, blinds, furnishings, removable appliances, non-permanent light fittings and more.
Building and contents insurance. This combines and covers everything listed above for full comprehensive protection.

With contents insurance, you'll also be automatically covered for the following.

Replacing and repairing keys/locks. If an insured event occurs, they'll have someone come out and replace or mend your keys and locks.
What's not covered?
All policies have exclusions and it's important you know what you won't be covered for. Some of the main exclusions include:
Loss or damage caused by maintenance or repairs that have been carried out by the tenants, or on their behalf.
Loss or damage caused by pets.
Loss or damage caused by general wear and tear, including erosion and rust.
Past damage that has been left unrepaired.
Items owned by the tenant, including furniture, clothing and other personal items.
Rental default where you haven't taken all possible legal avenues available.
Contents that are not related to the letting of the property.

Important information about this website
finder.com.au is one of Australia's leading comparison websites. We are committed to our readers and stands by our editorial principles
We try to take an open and transparent approach and provide a broad-based comparison service. However, you should be aware that while we are an independently owned service, our comparison service does not include all providers or all products available in the market.
Some product issuers may provide products or offer services through multiple brands, associated companies or different labeling arrangements. This can make it difficult for consumers to compare alternatives or identify the companies behind the products. However, we aim to provide information to enable consumers to understand these issues.
We make money by featuring products on our site. Compensation received from the providers featured on our site can influence which products we write about as well as where and how products appear on our page, but the order or placement of these products does not influence our assessment or opinions of them, nor is it an endorsement or recommendation for them.
Products marked as 'Top Pick', 'Promoted' or 'Advertisement' are prominently displayed either as a result of a commercial advertising arrangement or to highlight a particular product, provider or feature. Finder may receive remuneration from the Provider if you click on the related link, purchase or enquire about the product. Finder's decision to show a 'promoted' product is neither a recommendation that the product is appropriate for you nor an indication that the product is the best in its category. We encourage you to use the tools and information we provide to compare your options.
Where our site links to particular products or displays 'Go to site' buttons, we may receive a commission, referral fee or payment when you click on those buttons or apply for a product. You can learn more about how we make money.
When products are grouped in a table or list, the order in which they are initially sorted may be influenced by a range of factors including price, fees and discounts; commercial partnerships; product features; and brand popularity. We provide tools so you can sort and filter these lists to highlight features that matter to you.
