While it’s not always a legal requirement, many landlords or property management companies include a clause in the lease agreement recommending or requiring renters insurance. It’s crucial to review your contract with your landlord or property management company to understand their specific requirements. Even if not mandatory, having renters insurance is a wise choice to protect your personal belongings and provide liability coverage.
