EBM Insurance Brokers makes it simple, fast and inexpensive to combine comprehensive cover for the building and contents with the protection of landlords' insurance, in one policy. Choosing RentCover
Platinum covers the investment property home and contents against a range of insurable events as well as damage by the tenants, and protects your rental income at a premium around
20% cheaper than buying both policies individually.
With RentCover
Platinum, you're covered for damage to the building or contents through fire, earthquake, explosion, storm or rainwater (but not flood) glass breakage, impact, theft, fusion, malicious acts by intruders or water damage from burst pipes or overflowing sinks.

Ultra, including:
- Malicious damage or theft by tenants as well as accidental damage to both building and contents including unauthorised home alterations, up to $50,000.
