Why Contents Insurance Matters for Tenants

Wednesday 19 November 2025

A safe, secure home isn’t just about the walls—it’s also about protecting what’s inside. Most households have around $60,000 worth of belongings, often without realising it. Fires, theft, water damage, accidents, and natural disasters can happen unexpectedly, and replacing everything can be costly. Contents insurance helps cover your personal items and gives you peace of mind.

What It Covers

  • Furniture, electronics, appliances clothing, and valuables such as jewellery and artwork

Remember: Your landlord’s insurance does not cover your belongings. Having your own cover ensures you’re protected financially if something goes wrong.

Looking After Your Home

  • Report any damage or maintenance issues quickly
  • Pay rent on time
  • Be considerate of neighbours, contractors, flatmates, and guests
