Can My Apartment Make Me Buy Renters Insurance? 
If the lease you signed says you will have renters insurance then , yes , they can require you get the coverage . If you signed the lease -LRB- contract -RRB- you agreed to the terms -LRB- to by the insurance -RRB- . That said , renters insurance is CHEAP . Even if it is not required its a great idea . Probably less than $ 10/month ... a small price to pay to not see your families picture on a coffee can asking for change at 7-11 !
