Residential Strata Insurance, or Landlords Insurance, covers the dwelling and the option of fixtures and fittings for any loss or damage caused directly by an insured event.

This includes townhouses, units, and apartments. Strata Insurance can provide cover for permanent fixtures such as doors, stoves, walls, as well as shared common areas including gyms and pools.
Each cover will vary by the policy provider, and some areas of the property might not be insured like you would expect.
