Chances are: no.

Renters insurance covers your personal property and liability and not your landlords. As such they would have little reason to provide insurance on your behalf. Luckily, renters insurance is usually very easy to obtain and even more affordable. A quick Google search for renters insurance will direct you to plenty of sites that can assist you with obtaining a policy.
