California E&S Insurance

[Landlord US-NY] If my Section 8 tenant can't afford renters insurance, can I set up and pay for a policy on their behalf? I have a duplex on Long Island, NY. When I bought the house, there were Section 8 tenants who were occupying 1 of the units. Nice family, but she's always got issues paying her portion of the rent (she always does pay but it's always within 1-1.5 weeks past due). Obviously, she can't afford renters insurance, as she already struggles making her measly portion of the monthly rent, but my question is.. Can I purchase and maintain renters insurance on her behalf with myself as the additional insured? I would basically be giving it to her for free. Thoughts?
