Best Answer

Every landlord is required to have insurance, but now the question is what type of insurance. Property insurance is likely the type of insurance that the landlord is carrying. This does not cover anything inside the property that belongs to the tenant. For this, the tenant needs to purchase separate insurance called renters insurance.
