As a landlord, having your tenants get renters insurance is almost always a good idea. One of the biggest benefits is that when your tenants have renters insurance, it will lower your level of risk for a lawsuit if an incident ever occurs on your property.
Plus, renters insurance benefits your tenants by protecting their personal property and offering them
and loss of use coverage if they should ever need it.
What you can require in a lease agreement can vary by state, however, so it would be good to consult with an attorney about what policy elements you have in mind.
