Your townhouse neighbor does need home insurance for damages from a leak in your home if the two are connected. Often, flood insurance is separate from standard homeowner's insurance and must be purchased as an add-on or can be purchased in a renter's policy.

Yes, it is generally recommended for townhouse owners to have home insurance. While the specific responsibility for damage from a leak can vary based on the terms of the homeowners association or any shared walls agreement, having insurance can help protect both the owner and neighbors in the event of unexpected damages and liability. It is always best to consult with an insurance professional for personalized advice.
