Can Your Landlord Make You Get Renters Insurance? 
Some may , yes , but either way it is a smart idea . If your landlord is making you get renters insrance as a condition of your lease , keep in mind it is only to protect their interests . They want to make sure that you have liability coverage in the event you do something that either causes damage to their property or injury to another person . That is only part of the reason that you should want to buy it . Renters Insurance also provides coverage for your personal belongings - the things you would otherwise have to pay to replace if they were lost or damaged .
