I know only a small percentage of Indians are aware of the concept of tenant insurance. As a legal student, I recently learned whether can a landlord force you to get renters insurance. In simple language, if I say no, your owner can’t force you to have this insurance. In India, renter’s insurance is not a common requirement. 

  • Unless specifically mentioned in the rental agreement, landlords can't force tenants to buy it.

  • Indian regulations do not require tenants to get renters' insurance, in contrast to several Western nations where it is a common practice.

  • I would advise you to get renter's insurance if you are a tenant. It offers protection for your possessions against theft, fire, and other calamities.

  • The enforceability of such a requirement primarily depends on the terms and conditions laid out in the rental agreement. 

  • If your agreement specifically includes a clause mandating renters’ insurance, then as a tenant, you are contractually obligated to abide by it.

  • As a tenant, you can negotiate the requirement of renter’s insurance with the landlord before signing. 

  • Landlords might prefer this policy to protect against liabilities arising from tenant-caused damages that could affect the rental property.

I hope this resolves your concerns, can landlord force renters insurance.
