Well, what do you mean by Landlord Insurance? There is property insurance and Tenant or Renter's Insurance.

Tenant insurance covers any property of the Tenant, in and out of the home (out of the home is generally covered by only 10 %); property damage by the Tenant, either while living there or upon moveout; and medical care of up to about $1,000 to anyone who gets hurt in your home. It also covers loss of use of the home to a certain amount, which helps you with lodging and moving costs should you need to stay out of the home.
