Normally, renter's coverage applies only to the contents of the dwelling (furniture, for example). In contrast, homeowner's coverage is much broader. It applies to the structure of the dwelling, contents, and typically has an element of liability coverage that provides protection to the insured in case a guest is injured, because of the insured's negligence, upon the insured premises.
