A landlord client wants any tenant of her rented house to carry insurance. What does Ontario's standard form of lease allow the landlord and tenant to agree?

Correct Answer

A) That the tenant must carry liability insurance and show proof on request

The standard lease's tenant's insurance section lets the landlord and tenant agree whether the tenant must have liability insurance; if the landlord asks for proof of coverage, the tenant must provide it. Contents insurance is the tenant's own choice.

Why This Is the Correct Answer

Ontario's guide to the standard lease says the parties can agree the tenant must have liability insurance and must provide proof if the landlord asks.
