Buildings and contents insurance

Posts: 89 Forumite
OK, i'm prepared to be told that this is an idiotic question but i really don't know the answer. I am looking to get home insurance, but as a tenant can i get buildings insurance or am i limited to contents only?
Sorry to appear dim, but i have always assumed that because i do not own the house i live in, buildings insurance was a no go.
I'm not sure if it makes any difference, but i do not have a tenancy agreement as such - i have a lease, although not sure what kind or even if it changes anything.
Sorry to witter, thanks in advance

Your landlord should already have the relevant buildings insurance in place, therefore you only need contents insurance.0

I agree with Becky you only need contents insurance as the building will be insured by the landlord0
