AnswerMost rental questions can be answered by talking with your landlord. I've been in both situations. As a renter, I want the landlord to take care of everything. As a landlord, I want my renter to take some responsibility.I think a clogged drain is up to the renter to get fixed. A leaky pipe is more a landlord duty. However, if you want something more concrete, I suggest you come to an agreement with your landlord. You'll take care of any repairs that cost less than $50 and the landlord will be responsible for the bigger jobs.Max
No, landlord insurance does not provide protection to the renter. Landlord insurance simply covers the landlord if an issue that is of their fault arises. All other issues are at the renter's responsibility. All renters should acquire renters insurance.
That depends. If the renter has their own flood insurance then the renter could certainly file a claim on it they have a flood loss.

The owners flood insurance would be specific to the owners property, not property belonging to a tenant.
Yes! Your landlord can require anything he wants in the lease.
No. A landlord can APPLY for a restraining order on a tenant, but the Sheriff, Court Officer, or Process Server will perform the actual service on the renter.
In general, no. Renter's insurance covers the property of the renter, not the property of the landlord.

Renters insurance will cover your belongings in the house, and will also cover you for any legal mishaps you have with the landlord. It is prudent to have it as if for example there is a flood your belongings would not be covered by the landlords house insurance.
