I don't think so. I will be doing that very thing to my new tenants when we sign their lease this Saturday. --24.42.xxx.xx

Doesn't their lease contain a clause to that effect? It should also state that the landlord is not responsible for the tenants' personal belongings. --98.108.xxx.xx

Here it is called contents insurance. It is better to explain to the tenant that in the event of a fire, flood or someone breaks into the apartment that the building insurance will not cover the tenants contents. Here it costs around $100 to $120.00 per year for contents insurance. There have been some fires in apartment buildings where the tenant came home then found out that everything was a total loss in the apartment then found out that the building insurance did not cover the tenants contents. So if the tenant does not have contents insurance then it is better to tell them they will be out of luck if there is fire, flood or break in. The tenant can then decide if they want to take a chance. --216.110.xxx.xxx

I always suggest it and write in my agreements that their property is not covered, but I don't require it. --96.236.x.xxx

I ask for it when they have a tank larger than 20 gallons, there is just not enough bath towels for that much water in a house. --65.43.xxx.x
