Read your lease. If it says you must, you must.

Good Luck

The answer is governed by the lease. If the lease says the LL does, it does; if it says it doesn't (which it won't) it doesn't. Typically, commercial tenants are required by their lease to provide proof of specific types of insurance that could impact the landlord -- general liability, fire, etc.

Re: Commercial space

It makes good business sense for a landlord to include such a provision in a lease.

We always have a provision requiring proof of insurance in the commercial leases we prepare on behalf of landlords. But if the lease doesn't provide for it, then the landlord will have a hard time demanding any entitlement to the information.
