Does home insurance cover when you rent out the house and the tenant causes a house fire?

Question by janey schreiner: Does home insurance cover when you rent out the house and the tenant causes a house fire?
Does home insurance cover when I rent out the house and the tenant causes a house fire (assuming the house completely burnt down)? If not, do I need to buy landlord’s insurance or ask the tenant to buy renter’s insurance? Where can i compare home insures? Thanks
