First, a homeowners policy is not what you need for rental property. A homeowners policy is only for a house that is owner occupied. For a house that you rent to others you need to purchase a tenant occupied dwelling fire policy. You must have the proper policy for the situation that you have. The coverage under a homeowners policy ceases when the owner has not lived in the home for 90 days. You need a good insurance agent to advise you and help you purchase the proper policy for your needs. To answer the question, you can deduct the premiums paid for a dwelling fire policy that you rent to someone else.

Are rental homes protected under homeowners insurance policies?

No. In the united States, Homeowners Insurance polices are Null and Void at the moment your home is rented unless you have had the policy endorsed for rental property coverage. This is often referred to as "Landlords Insurance" and requires a different policy form known a "Dwelling Policy". Most Insurers will simply cancel the old Homeowners policy and issue a new "Dwelling Policy" form to cover you as this is the appropriate policy form. Your landlord's insurance policy, or "Dwelling Policy" will cover your rented home. It is certainly possible to have property and liability insurance on a rented property but not on a traditional homeowners Insurance policy form.

Actually you can't just add it. For rented property you need Dwelling coverage. Your homeowners insurance policy becomes automatically null and void when the property is rented out to another. You can have your agent endorse your policy for rental dwelling coverage or you can have your agent re-write the policy on the appropriate dwelling coverage form. Homeowners insurance is for owner occupied homes. Dwelling insurance is the landlords insurance for rented properties
