The dwelling Owners policy does not cover the property or liability of a tenant.

Rental dwellings are covered under a Dwelling Policy that covers rental properties not a homeowners policy.

If the tenant seeks coverage, the tenant must buy his own Renters Insurance Policy.

If you are renting your home and living with your boyfriend at his home why won't your insurance company cover your home?

It is possible that you have to be occupying the house to be covered by insurance. They see it as unprotected by the owner and anything could happen to it. I cant possibly be the first person to try and insure a property Im not occupying. Homeowners insurance covers your home, and a house you are renting to someone else is not your home. It can be insured, but you need a different policy.
