§ 9:3333 — Property insurance

A lessor may request or require a lessee to insure the leased property against loss, damage, destruction, and other contingencies, as well as require the lessee to obtain comprehensive liability insurance with regard to use of the leased property and the lessor's related business activities. The cost of such insurance may also be included at the lessee's option as a separate charge in a lease contract or agreement. Any insurance and the premiums or charges thereon shall bear a reasonable relationship to the amount, term, and condition of the lease contract or agreement, the existing hazards or risks of loss, damage, or destruction, and shall not provide for unusual or exceptional risks or coverages which are not ordinarily included in policies issued to the general public.
