You can buy insurance on whether or not it will rain tomorrow. This is just to show that you can insure anything. Now for your question. I'm not sure I completely understand it. You cannot insure something that you don't own so if you mean can you insure a home that you are paying rent to live in then no. You can purchase a homeowners policy to insure your contents inside the home as well as your liability should you be sued by someone hurt on the property. This would be an HO-4 policy form. If you are asking if you can insure a home you are renting to someone else for them to live in then the answer is also yes. You would need a dwelling fire policy that stipulates it is tenant occupied which can be a DP-1, DP-2, or DP-3 depending on the condition of the property and the coverage you desire. You will also want to make sure you endorse the policy to provide liability coverage as well and to cover any property inside the home that you own.

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.

Renting rather than buying?
Buying a home is nice, and it is consider the American Dream, but that doesn't mean it's right for you. Actually, many have found that renting a home is a better option. If you are not into fixing things around the home for yourself, then renting is certainly for you. After all, you will still have a landlord that has to take care of these things for you if you are renting. When renting your home, make sure that you purchase renter's insurance of some kind in order to protect you from any number of things that could happen. This is just a smart move every time.
