Important Homeowners Insurance Question - Who is living in the house?

In order to have a homeowners insurance policy on a house, the homeowner must be living in the home during the course of the year. The named insured on the insurance policy should match the name(s) on the deed. If the adult children of the owner - or the parents of the owner - (or any other individuals who are not the legal owners) are the people living in the house, a dwelling fire policy must be written on the house, and the residents should have renter’s insurance (HO4) for their personal property. It’s not unusual for a homeowner to allow relatives to live in one of their properties; what’s important is to make sure that the correct insurance is in place.

  1. Hi,
    Homeowners insurance provides financial protection against disasters. A standard policy insures the home itself and the things you keep in it. Homeowners insurance is a package policy. This means that it covers both damage to your property and your liability or legal responsibility for any injuries and property damage you or members of your family cause to other people. This includes damage caused by household pets. Damage caused by most disasters is covered but there are exceptions. The most significant are damages caused by floods, earthquakes and poor maintenance. You must buy two separate policies for flood and earthquake coverage. Maintenance-related problems are the homeowners' responsibility.
