I still cannot believe it!!
Long standing tenants moved out and I went for an inspection. Property had been pretty much systematically damaged (not totally). This was confirmed by the neighbours who had complained to the property managers but nothing was done. Regular fires, police visits, screaming and abuse, fire brigade (unbeknownst to me). I made a large claim.....not hoping for much. I received a reasonable payout from CGU after much investigation. Only months later, a 2nd prop completely trashed and some damage and 5 mths no rent. They paid max rent and fixed...
Read more some damage but not the clearing of rubbish. Combined was 10's thousands $ of cost to me. Have never made a claim before, feared the worst, but they paid. Completely stressful time, and I still cannot believe how relieved I was I had this insurance. Thanks1 comment
Very good
Made a claim and was very promptly dealt with and paid out, through my property manager. Not sure if having multiple policies with them made a difference but I would like to think not.
Questions & Answers
Adamasked
I would like to go ahead with Landlord insuranc.
I have read the CGU product disclosure statement and would like to clarify the following:
1. I have an large room under the rented house which will be Locked with a secure padlock. The tenants will not have access to this room. The room contains two small leather couches, several pieces of furniture, corded and battery operated power tools (domestic use only), assorted lamp shades, pictures and wall hangings ect.
Will these things be covered for damage by fire, theft, damage by tenants or other any unknown people?
2. The rest of the house is rented as fully furnished.
Does Accidental Damage Cover accidental damage to furniture by the tenant?
We have a dining table that converts to a pool table. If the tenant damages this as a result of an accident and it is not deliberate or malicious will it be coved under this policy.
3. If a tenant accidentally puts a large hole in a plaster wall will the repair be covered under the policy?
4. If several things are damaged accidentally by the tenant, is a seperate excess payable for each claim or would only one excess be payable for multiple claims made at the same time.
I appreciate you help in this regard to these questions and am hoping to insure my assets with CGU

My suggestion is that you should go direct to CGU or your broker and ask them. Best to do it in writing. No one else can give you advice on this, and if they did you could not rely on it in court in any event. Always a good test. They should let you know pretty quickly.

Hi Adam, as Sara has mentioned - it's not that we can't give advice but your questions are specific to our product that unfortunately is the one product we aren't trained in through this team. I do suggest contacting us on 132-481 and have the team that are trained go through the cover with you. Alternatively you can have a read of our PDS by heading to https://www.cgu.com.au/sites/default/files/media/personal/pds/cgu_landlords_residential_insurance_policy_0319.PDF. ~Natalie
Don't consider CGU, or any broker that would willingly set you up for a fall with CGU or IAG they will find an excuse to deny your claim & you will find your not covered for anything!

I no longer have insurance with CGU because of their deception. I'll have to search through archived documentation to get the policy number. Send me another email in about a week to give me time to find the policy document. Regards,
