Right at the beginning, I was horrified to read the false statement that some landlords cover insurance for their tenants.  A landlord's policy covers the property as well as the landlord's liability.  Just because a landlord doesn't require tenant insurance doesn't mean you shouldn't buy an inexpensive policy to protect your legal liability.I have known quite a few good people who were sued by their landlord or their fellow tenants for a fire that started in their apartment and caused damage to the landlords' building, another tenant's belongings, or even damage to a neighboring structure.If you lose all of your clothes and furniture, that is unfortunate, but charities can help you restock your household belongings.  If a court awards a judgment against you, your wages can be garnished for years or even decades to pay back the damage or injuries you may have inadvertently caused,  maybe with a candle left burning, a pot boiling over on the stove, or Christmas tree lights that shorted out.If this author doesn't even know simple and basic legal pitfalls to keep a person out of bankruptcy, I don't trust anything else she has to say, and I immediately quit reading and deleted this book from my Kindle.
