Yes, a landlord can rent real proeprty to a tenant that has no insurance for liability or damage for it. To have any real property be it a rental or not without insurance is not a wise idea for the simple fact of liability and replacement issues.
Likewise, I recommend that all tenant obtain renter's insurance when they rent a unit to cover property damage for their own personal effects as well as the unit they are occupying in the event damage results.
