Dutch term or phrase: verzekering voor rekening van wie het behoort,
De huurder verzekert de gebouwen voor rekening van wie het behoort.

this seems to mean that the owner gets the payout, not the lessee. but how to say that in English?

neutral  jarry (X): I think that should be 'for the benefit of the owner'landlord'. OK, but does it make sense for a tenant to take out a policy which the landlord could (presumably) contract himself? That would be risky would it not?
9 hrs
  -> It's possible, Jarry, but why would a renter agree to that? Note added: because then the owner would not have to have insurance when the building is empty./ Yes, it would be risky.

  -> Thank you. As pointed out by Jarry, there are some questions that can only be solved by looking further at the context.
