Landlords generally require a tenant to have a certificate of insurance showing that the tenant has personal belongings insured, as the landlord's policy doesn't cover personal property of the tenant.

Why does a tenant need property damage insurance?

Your land lord is not responsible for any damage to or loss of personal belongs. This is why you would want to get renters insurance. The owner of the home should have it covered with "Home Owner's Insurance", which doesn't cover a tenant's belongings should there be a fire, etc. Renter's Insurance covers the tenant's belongings. Without it, a tenant would not be eligible for a claim and would not be able to recoup any losses.

Can landlord insurance cover damage from tenant move out?

Well, what do you mean by Landlord Insurance? There is property insurance and Tenant or Renter's Insurance. The former covers any damage to the property by a storm, fire, burglary, etc., but not anything inside the unit, meaning, anything owned by the tenant. That's what Tenant insurance is for. 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.
