About EBM RentCover

Protecting properties since 1991

who we are

We offer more than insurance

EBM RentCover’s relationship with the real estate industry ignited in 1991 with the development of one of Australia’s first landlord insurance policies. Since then, we’ve educated landlords and property professionals about the value of aligning with a specialist landlord insurance provider and now protect about 155,000 rental properties across Australia.

Why choose EBM RentCover?

We are here to make protecting your investment as simple and stress‑free as possible. We educate landlords and property professionals, giving them the tools and knowledge to better understand and manage tenant‑related risks. We work quickly, aiming to settle most claims within five working days when all required information is provided. Each claim is handled efficiently by a dedicated claims specialist who manages it from start to finish, and when you call, a real person (not a machine) answers. We also make the process easy through our online claims portal, where you can upload documents, submit and review your claim, and track progress at any time.

What makes us different

Service that matters

While insurance is important, EBM RentCover adds true value with its service and support. From cover to claims, our team can guide you through every step and ensure you get the help you need, when you need it.
