In the United States, there is no requirement to have house insurance. However, most banks and lending institutions require you to have insurance while there is an outstanding mortgage on the house. Once you have finished paying off the house, you don't have to maintain the insurance.

However, it is a good idea to continue the insurance plan if you can afford it. Without insurance, if your house burns to the ground, you are left with no place to live and no money to purchase or rebuild.

Does the lender get mortgage insurance to cover the loan and you get the homeowners?

No, that's not how it works. Mortgage insurance is to cover you defaulting on the loan, and you're expected to pay it. Homeowner's insurance covers the home itself in case of accidents. If they pay off the value of the home because it was totally destroyed, you're still responsible for the loan before you get whatever's left over.

Does gap insurance cover if your behind on car payments?

Unfortunately, no. What gap coverage does is pay the balance on your car loan if your car is totaled and the insurance payment is not enough to pay off the balance of your loan. Quite often our vehicles depreciate faster than we can pay them off. Insurance only pays the depreciated (blue book) value, so sometimes what you will get from your insusrance company doesn't pay off the loan.

It all depends on whether you still owe money on the home. Most lenders will require you carry hazard insurance until you pay off the loan. If you own the home free and clear then it's really just up to you whether or not you want insurance on it.
