In a leased commercial property, insurance responsibility is usually divided between the landlord, the tenant and sometimes a strata or owners corporation.

If a commercial property insurance claim is delayed, disputed or declined, policyholders can take practical steps to clarify the insurer's position, strengthen their evidence, use the insurer's internal dispute resolution process and, where eligible, escalate the complaint to AFCA. - read more
