Renter's insurance covering fire damage?

[James Mc Ree]

I have a property that sustained tenant-caused fire damage.  The tenant does not have renter's insurance.  Would the liability portion of a renter's insurance policy typically compensate me for my deductible?  I am considering requiring renter's insurance going forward if that is the case.  I have a high deductible which would be more appealing if there was a backup insurance policy to cover me for whatever the tenant does.
