It is the Mortgage company's requirement. One of their conditions for loaning you the money is that you carry insurance. This protects their investment in the home.
If you attempt to cancel the insurance after you get the loan, your agent is required by law to notify the lender. They will then placed forced coverage on the property. This coverage is much more expensive and only covers the lender, not you. So you are best to get your homeowner's policy and keep it paid and in force.
