    Hi All,

    I have a few apartments on the city fringe that will be available for rental in the next few weeks.  Both these properties have a body corp that looks after the Structural Insurance.

    Is it worth getting any other insurance?  Im guessing that Public indemnity in vital.  But what else should I consider…? Is landlords insurance really worthwhile in your opinions…?   And what abouty insurance for internal damage, like fire etc…

    You absolutely MUST have;

    1. Public Liabilty Insurance – $20 mill.
    2. Contents Insurance to cover fixtures and fittings; ask your insurer or broker about value. Go for more if unsure – it's a slight increase in premiums.
    3. Landlord's Insurance to cover you against those dodgy tenants.

    You can get all-in-one packages these days, some lenders provide it, or do a google on Landlord's Insurance. The premiums expense is tax deductible.

    Check the Body Corp particulars for the building insurance; they normally cover all of the building and public liability for the common areas only.
