Why Landlord Insurance is important

Landlord Insurance covers you for tenant-related losses. Things like loss of rent due to a tenant breaking their lease or being evicted, or damage caused to your contents by tenants, like drink spills on carpets. Other insurance may not cover these events, and very often, the bond won’t be enough to cover the associated costs.

Combine
and save

If you own a freestanding building, combine one of our Landlord Insurance products with our Residential Building Insurance and receive a 10% discount on your Residential Building Insurance policy.

Rated 5 out of 5 by from Great LL Protection insurance So glad that Terri Sheer is offering the LL Protection insurance with rent default coverage when most other insurance companies are still not offering. Good times or hard times, Terri Sheer is with us Landlords. Thank you!

Rated 1 out of 5 by from Policy renewal and new set up The product renewal was messed up as terri scheer did not email the owner directly. Although TS made email contact after the policy had lapsed altho didn't before when necessary? TS take no accountability for their part in the process. After 5 years of no claims have to start with a new policy which costs. TS aren't loyal or understanding to long standing customers or flexible when things go wrong and customer needs a renewal. They read from a script sheet, don't want to help and are happy to take higher premiums. I just hope the claims process isn't that rigid if a disaster happens and can speak to a human. Unfair consumer practices and duty of care to customers ignored.

Rated 5 out of 5 by from Good coverage of benefits. Peace of mind for the l I am so glad that when the policy remainded the same as it was pre-CoVID. Yes the price has increased but that is understandable due to the large amount of claims that would have happened in this period. Glad that the full tenant proprection policy is offereed by TerriScheer where most others are not even offering that.
