Tenant asking landlord for home insurance copy?

Hi,

I have tenant asking for a copy of home insurance. Tenant is saying their car insurance company requires them to have proof of home insurance for the home they live in so they can renew their car insurance. They park car on the street as their is no onsite parking. I have landlord insurance policy which does not cover any tenants belongings. I do not intend to cover any of their belongings. I find that the request by tenant is weird, not sure if I should give them the copy of my insurance. Any suggestion on if landlord should give tenants copy of home insurance?

Thanks,

Yuzi

 Yuzi, your tenant is confused.  The insurance carrier is asking for the Tenant's Homeowners policy (if they are home owners) or Renters insurance if they are renters.  Your Landlord policy will not give them what they need.
