insurance "unacceptable risks" & lease agmts

Hi BP Members, 

In correspondence with an insurance agent on a policy, agent took the liberty of sending over a list of "unacceptable risks" (listed below). The agent suggested I include it in all my tenancy agmts to ensure tenants "sign off". 

I have properties in different states with different ppty mgmt and lease agmts obviously vary, so not sure to what extent these points are already spelled out (if any). 

Question 1: do you add an addendum of requirements / conditions to your leases and if so, do you include any information specifically from your insurance agent (plus other basic points, e.g. no drug use?)

Question 2: any general ideas people use to protect themselves?

Thanks for your thoughts!
