Can tenant require Landlord to provide copy of insurance?
Hi
My tenant is being very insistent that he needs a copy of the insurance policy on my dwelling. I checked lease but there is not insurance statement (I guess I should have made it mandatory to request tenant to have their own insurance).
I mentionned to the tenant that:
1/ He is responsible for his own insurance to cover his belongings and personal liability'
2/ Having my insurance policy is beyond the normal Landlor-tenant agreement
Please let me know if I am not correct,
Thanks,
Mary

There is no general reason why a tenant would require a landlord's insurance policy. The tenant, as you indicate, may wish to obtain renter's insurance if the tenant is concerned about theft, loss, or damage to property.
