The owner of the property is required to have property insurance if the property is mortgaged or used as collateral in other transactions. This insurance covers the structure, its replacement, accidents or damage that occur on or as a result of the property and so forth. It does not cover the contents of the home that belongs to the renter. The occupant is responsible for renter's insurance, which, depending on the nature of the policy, covers different things. There is no requirement that a renter have renter's insurance. You should, however, make sure the property owner has coverage.
