Why will landlords require their name get added to the tenant's insurance policy?
Usually tenants are responsible for accidents in their apartments. But that doesn't stop injured people from suing EVERYONE including the landlord, on the theory that maybe the reason for the accident was something the landlord was responsible for (bad electric wiring that the tenant made worse for example) or say a bathtub that had no 'non-slip' strips in the bottom and the tenant got hurt. So the landlord will want to be what's called an "additional insured" on a tenant's liabilityinsurance policy. That's the kind of insurance that protects against things like accidents that hurt people and damage property. By adding the landlord's name, if the tenant and the landlord are sued, the tenant's insurance company would be required to also defend the landlord. That doesn't mean that if the landlord loses that the tenant's insurance company pays the damages that the landlord owes, it just means the insurance company pays for the lawyer and defense team.

If you rent to own who replaces the hot water heater the tenant or landlord?
It's just my opinion, but until title changes hands, the tenant is still the tenant, and the landlord is responsible for replacing the water heater.
