Landlord tip . It is up to a landlord to insure their rental property against any damage. That insurance will usually be for the benefit of the landlord only. A tenant should arrange insurance to protect their contents and liability for damage to the landlord’s property. Most insurers require landlords to prove they have conducted a thorough tenancy selection process and have conducted regular property inspections before honouring damage claims. Check exactly what it is covered by your policy, and also check claim requirements. Some insurers offer special landlord insurance cover that includes issues to do with the tenancy (e.g., vacancy periods, damage by the tenant, etc). You may also choose to insure any chattels in the property that you own and that are listed in the tenancy agreement. Any damage to them will not be covered by the tenant’s contents insurance.

They can use it as a valid reference when next applying for a rental. Don't forget to upload your photos. TINZ offers a credit when you upload a photo after you do searches. There is an easy upload button on the results page. If everyone uploads their photos then searches will produce more photos and better identification of prospective tenants.
