You must be kidding! This is "disruption" we're talking about, after all. That means all precautions, regulations, contingencies, licensing, and everything else are out the window, full stop. What are you, some kind of last-century luddite who hates progress? What do you want, for the bad old pre-startup ways to contaminate things and spoil the party? "Insurance" is for non-entrepreneurial losers, and no one cases about them, because they're not really people anyway!

Just do a textual search for "insurance" in the article. Zero results found. Yep, it's "disruption" all right! Full speed ahead!

The only way to buy insurance would be to lie and commit fraud. Home owners associations also require insurance.

I'm sure that's what's happening, probably unintentionally. And you're okay, until a crime is committed, someone is hurt, damages are done or the place burns down. Then the insurance company says, "Oh, you were renting it out? Good luck!"

Why would he need to lie? Landlord insurance is trivial to get and IIRC (it's been a few years) cheaper than regular homeowner's insurance.

You can't buy insurance for an illegal activity.

Why? Do no insurance polices cover landlords? Or do those policies specify a duration for a tenant to stay?
