Apartment - proprietor insurance?

I have an apartment unit rented out to a kinfolk. My question is "Do I really need a proprietor insurance for the apartment unit even if I do not care nearly the loss of rental income that might happen?" My worst fear is that what if someone get hurt in my property and that person sues me for that.

However, unlike housese, apartment unit are managed by a body corporate and if anything happens within the apartment complex, I think, the body corporate is responsible.

Could anyone please explain why I still need an insurance when I rent out an apartment section not a house?

Answers:    It's up to the RENTER to insure their private property. You should have insurance to cover the OUTSIDE, but the renters are responsible for anything that goes on inside their apartment (including break-ins and fires).
As a long time apartment dweller (in three different places), I enjoy ALWAYS carried renter's insurance and would never dream of suing the landlord if something happens inside my apartment to be exact beyond the landlords' control. If I fall down the stairs on the OUTSIDE, then I'd enjoy a case if the stairs weren't safe.
My renter's insurance also have liability protection if someone in my apartment (a visitor, for instance) get hurt while inside my apartment. I live in a flat, so there are no stairs for inhabitants to fall down until they go out my front door.
Insurance does not cover rent.

Of course you obligation insurance.

Fires and water leaks are adjectives occurrences. While you may not be held liable for an injury you still have to dance to court to prove you are not liable, and that costs money.

Who told you that houses do not need insurance? If you have any mortgage at adjectives the bank will require it, I have never have a loan that did not.
