Commercial Property Insurance Frequently Asked QuestionsWhy do I need insurance when my tenant already has a policy?

Even if your tenant has taken out a policy which includes Building cover, as a property owner you have a unique Liability exposure only you can protect yourself against.

Liability cover is designed to respond to the named insured for their business activities. This means the Liability section of your tenant’s policy will only respond to their business activities and does not extend to you as the property owner.

Also, if you allow the tenant to take out insurance on your behalf, you lose all rights to enquire and make changes to the policy as you would not be considered the policy holder. Theoretically, the tenant could make changes and claims without informing you.

What is an Indemnity Period and how I do choose an appropriate level?

The Indemnity Period is the length of time the insurer will pay Loss of Income following an insured event. When setting an Indemnity Period, it’s important to consider all the processes involved following a major or total loss of the Building. For example: changes in building regulations; planning permissions; the removal of debris; ease of access to the property; drafting of plans; and rebuild time itself.

Honan recommends a minimum of 24 months, however greater should be considered for, but not limited to: larger buildings; buildings with special features; heritage listing; and asbestos.

What is Rent Default?

Separate to your traditional Loss of Rent cover, Rent Default means when a tenant fails to pay the agreed rent and is in breach of the lease agreement, including when a tenant leaves without giving the notice required under the lease agreement.

Subject to the terms and conditions of the policy, Rent Default may respond: if your tenant leaves your rental property before the end of the tenancy period of the lease agreement, without giving you or your agent notice; is legally evicted from your rental property; or stops paying rent owed to you.

What happens if my building is not insured adequately?

Unlike Residential Landlords or Householders insurance, Commercial Property policies have what’s called an averaging or co-insurance clause. The specifics of the clause vary from each insurer, however in general it determines that if your property is under insured by between 15-20%, a claim made may be paid out proportionately.

For example, if the actual Building Value is $1,000,000 but it is insured for $500,000, it would be under insured by 50%. This means that if there was a $50,000 loss the insurer may pay 50% of this – $25,000.

We recommend seeking an independent valuation to ensure your building is insured for the correct replacement value. Honan can refer you to our partnered valuer if required.
