Can A Landlord Require Renters Insurance? 
A lease is a contract . If the lease requires renters insurance and the tenant signs -LRB- agrees -RRB- it is required . That said , renters insurance is cheap . every tenant should price it and consider the coverage . Anyone who rents property should consider requiring the coverage . If this happened there would be a lot less sad stories of poor families who lost everything in a fire . the saddest part is the family might not be in that position ... For less than $ 10 month . What a shame .
