Yes, the Policy provides automatic cover for both fix term leases and continuation of a lease on a periodic basis.

All insurers charge a Fire Service Levy (FSL) on property insurance policies. This is a state government imposed charge (similar to a tax). The State Government uses these funds to assist to pay for NSW Emergency Services, including Fire and Rescue NSW, the NSW Rural Fire Services, and NSW State Emergency Services.

No, there is no legal requirement for you to have Landlord Insurance. However, if you take out a loan for the investment property, there may be a requirement under the terms of the loan to have appropriate Landlord Insurance.
