Yes, in Georgia you can require renters insurance as a condition of the lease, and you can require the tenant to name you as an additional interested party. This shifts liability for tenant-caused damage (kitchen fires, water damage, pet damage) to the tenant's carrier. Many Georgia property managers now require $100,000 to $300,000 in tenant liability coverage. We recommend including this clause in every Georgia lease.
