I spent several days trying to get insurance on the rental and couldn’t get it because I didn’t own it. I asked the landlord to insure it and told him that I would pay for the three months of coverage. It was under $200 a year. After I moved out, I told him he could charge his other tenants for the insurance coverage so it wouldn’t cost him a penny. He refused to take out the policy so we didn’t use the cart the entire three months.
Some winters when I’m away I rent out my home , I don’t own a golf cart , but I didn’t even want a rental in my garage , liability always concerned me , so I always said no carts , but in a few of my homes they did get a nice golf course view .
