Yes, it can be included in the lease. It will only cost you less than $250/year depending on the amount of coverage and protects both your personal property and your liability. Plus, if the building burns down or some other loss, pays for you new place to live and other inconveniences. The real question is, why fight it? why would you not buy coverage required or not? 4lifeguild
No, it's not mandatory However, it is highly recommended. I got it three weeks before a fire and saved my self around ten thousand dollars. You can't beat that, plus it's only like twenty dollars a month!
The general answer is yes. Although it may vary by state, the landlord can require in the lease that the tenant obtain renter's insurance. One exception to this is government funded housing.
Some landlords may require you to carry tenants insurance in order to rent. If they don't it is still a very good idea to have it and very inexpensive.
No, but it makes sense to buy renter's insurance since it is so cheap and can help you replace your goods if they are ever stolen or damaged.

Prior to having the tenant sign, the landlord would insert the sentence into the lease, "The landlord reserves the right to terminate this lease with ninety days notice." Tenant may request the same terms, or take the tenancy as offered.
If you break any provision of the lease what recourse does the landlord have?
This depends on how serious or repetitious the violation is. A landlord can give you some time to correct the violation or can ask you to leave. If the landlord chooses the latter, he can choose not to renew the lease, terminate it with some notice, such as 30 days or less, or terminate it immediately by means of an eviction (an eviction is actually a court proceeding, not just a request for you to move. If you move per the request without the matter heading to court you will not have an eviction record, which could jeopardize your housing choice voucher if you have one and your ability to get into another home).

Can a renter put rent into escrow if landlord doesn't fix property?
Proper procedures must be followed according to state and/or local laws regarding this. In Florida you must give the landlord at least a seven-day notice of your intent to fix something that is vital to your living in the home before you can legally offset it from the rent. The repair must not be frivolous and must be of something, like the water heater, that is vital to the function of the home or would make the home uninhabitable if such repair is not made. This said, the landlord can still evict you for non-payment of rent. However you would likely win the case and can seek damages from the landlord of up to three month's rent abatement. Now, if the landlord does evict you in Florida, you can pay what would be the rent amount to the Clerk's Office instead of the Landlord so that you can request a final hearing before a judge or magistrate. If you paid out money to fix something vital in the house you can ask for an emergency hearing to determine rent amount, before you get your final hearing. Whatever the judge says is the amount you have to pay-- most likely it will be your rent minus your repair expense-- and you must pay it immediately in order to have a hearing. Your landlord will get that money, minus the court registry fee of about 14%-- a penalty that will make your landlord think twice about being greedy about the rent!
