Tenancy Liability Insurance?

Me and my partner are about to rent a flat for the first time and have been asked to get 'Tenancy Liability Insurance'.
Can anyone tell me if this is a legal requirement, the difference between this and public liability insurance, whether that is what the deposit is for, doesn't landlord insurance also cover that, and basically whether I need to get it or not.
We will be getting contents insurance but just didn't know about this one.

I think you mean "tenants" liability cover which covers you against accidentally damaging any property belonging to the landlord in your flat. (Have a google)
It isn't a legal requirement, though may be a condition of your lease (in which case if you don't provide proof you have it then you may not get the flat)0 -
Check Contents Insurance as this will often include tenants liability insurance.The comments I post are personal opinion. Always refer to official information sources before relying on internet forums. If you have a problem with any organisation, enter into their official complaints process at the earliest opportunity, as sometimes complaints have to be started within a certain time frame.0
