Can A Landlord Force You To Get Renters Insurance? 
That is a great question ! A landlord can not force you to purchase a renters policy , but he can make it a condition of renting the apartment - you do n't have one , you do n't get the apartment . I know that may not seem fair , but the landlord is really trying to protect both you and him . It really is a good thing to have it , -LRB- and it is not very expensive , you can expect to generally expect to payaround $ 20 a month -RRB- , and is well worth it if you ever have damage to your apartment or are a victim of theft . I hope that helps ! Thanks for asking !
