EBM RentCover

For many landlords, insurance is seen as a safety net they hope never to use. With that mindset, it is no surprise that price often becomes the deciding factor, but choosing the cheapest cover upfront can come at a much higher cost when it is time to claim.

In this article on Elite Agent, EBM RentCover Managing Director Sharon Fox-Slater explains where cheaper policies can fall short and how agents can help landlords choose cover that will actually support them at claim time. Read on to learn more...

For many landlords, maintenance is a balancing act. With rising costs and competing financial priorities, it can be tempting to postpone a repair that might not seem urgent. But from our experience, some of the costliest insurance claims begin as relatively small issues that were quietly worsening in the background.

In this article on Elite Agent, EBM RentCover Managing Director Sharon Fox-Slater explains why maintenance should not be viewed solely as an expense, but as an investment in protecting a valuable asset. Read on to learn more…

R U OK? Day recently gave us an opportunity to pause, connect, and check in with one another, and this year, the EBM Group marked the occasion in a special way.

To encourage meaningful conversations, team members were invited to wear yellow on Thursday 10 September in support of R U OK? Day. For every team member who participated and shared a photo with the team, EBM Group donated $50 to a charity chosen by our best-dressed yellow supporter. Thanks to the enthusiasm of our team, we're thrilled to announce that $5,000 was raised for Headspace. 💛

Thank you to everyone who got involved. Your support helped raise valuable funds and, just as importantly, brought people together in the spirit of connection, care, and meaningful conversation that R U OK? Day encourages. We're incredibly proud of the support shown across the EBM Group and grateful for the difference we've made together. 👏

Many insurance claims don’t start with a major event. They often begin with something small: a blocked gutter, a loose roof tile, a dripping tap or a tiny crack that nobody thinks much about.

For landlords, recognising these “near misses” can help prevent significant damage and reduce the likelihood of expensive repairs later on. Read on to learn more…

Did you know today is International Dog Day? While we are celebrating our furry friends, it is also a great time to talk about the topic of pets in rental properties. A common concern among landlords is the potential for pets to cause damage in rental properties, but as a landlord insurance provider, our claims history tells us that humans, not animals, are more likely to cause damage.

Still unsure about allowing pets in your rental property? Here are a few reasons why you might want to consider renting your property to those with furry companions…
