Why couldn't a renter not obtain renter's insurance
It is mostly a problem when single females bring in their shady boyfriends,
Extra tenants are seldom good. Good tenants generally do not bring in extra people without asking. It's mostly the trash.

I rented to a murderer once. He was not a murderer (yet) when I rented to him. He was another long term guest. Real nice guy until he turned.
OMG. At least he didn't become a murderer in your rental unit.
Since we already are talking about morbid stuff... Have you ever found anybody already dead in any of your units? I wonder how often that happens. I used to live alone and I sometimes wondered how long it would take for the landlord to be notified and come into my apartment if I happened to drop dead inside.
No one cares if you leave, it's when you bring in extra, un-screened tenants that matters. It would help to get give notification in case there is an emergency and the landlord has to get into the place.I guess I would never be your tenant. I pay the rent and if I want to be gone for a few weeks its none of your damn business.

Tenants always act like it's their home-n-castle, until something goes wrong.
Another time the tenant went away without telling us, and when he returned, we got a frantic call [his calls were always frantic] about a leak in the basement that had ruined the carpet. It was summer, and the pipe that takes condensation away from the a/c unit had clogged and water had been running into the basement for at least 2 weeks. If we'd known he was gone, we would have checked the townhouse during that period and found the water earlier.
The townhouse was subject to 3 levels of HOA (we paid the fees) plus county jurisdiction. Everything the tenant did without asking, caused us to get a threatening letter from one or more HOAs. In the case of the unannounced month-long vacation, we needed to remove a window a/c unit that the tenant had installed without asking (or consulting the HOA rules - which they knew about, since we informed them at leasing). We couldn't get into the master BR where the unit had been installed - because the tenant had put a lock on it, without giving us the key.
(Do you also think you don't have to follow HOA rules, because you're a tenant?)

The leak in the basement could have been unnoticed even if the tenant was there or had been gone away for a week, so I'm not sure what the point is.

Did I say anything about not having to follow HOA rules? No.
My point was that it is crazy to expect a tenant to notify the landlord if they are away for more than 14 days... you really expect me to inform the landlord if I'm away on vacation or a business trip for more than 14 days? Or I have a two week trip that gets extended for one reason or another? A month I could see but 14 days is not a long period of time. ...

Ok, I refuse to sign. Go find another renter. I'll take my money elsewhere.

Methinks the disconnect is that the average person here is bit different that the average renter in terms of resources and responsibility. After being a homeowner for over 30 years, I'm looking at renting. What I've seen so far is a little insulting to me with an 800+ credit score and a low 7 figure portfolio, but I understand that many people are flaky and once moved in, can be a real headache for a landlord. I plan to hold my nose for a year or so, then buy again in the new city.
Hey, that would describe me!..........The final, totally PITA tenant - the one who drove us out of landlording forever - had an 800 credit score and no prior rental history, since he had just sold his home. .......
The final, totally PITA tenant - the one who drove us out of landlording forever - had an 800 credit score and no prior rental history, since he had just sold his home. If I had to do it over again, I'd take a 625 score and a series of happy landlords over him any day.
Can I ask what he did that drove you out of landlording forever?

WOW, you have a beautiful way of using words!You do not want your neighbors to bring in trash either.
