No, landlords do not hold all the liability. The real risk is on the renters. Every day I go to work, but if I lose my job and can't pay rent, I could be homeless in a few months. That's real liability.

If some rich fuck might lose a hundred grand, hey that would suck, but they'll be fine. Their life will go on just like it always did.

If a property rental gets wrecked and the insurance, which the landlord pays, doesn't cover it then who owes the bank the remainder of a loan equivalent to 5x the renters annual income?

A) The Tenant

B) The Landlord

If the insurance doesn't cover it, the landlord fucked up. Should have gotten better insurance. Homeowner's insurance is very cheap.

Even if the insurance does cover it, the tenant loses all their belongings and their housing.
