You will need a completely different type of policy if you are renting the house out to someone else. This is where it comes into play that you need to read your policy and to depend on your insurance agent. Once you move out of your home for 90 days the coverage ceases even if you continue to pay the premiums. If you are the owners of the home and rent it to someone else you need to purchase a tenant occupied dwelling fire policy to cover the home and any contents that are still inside the home that belong to you. If you are the person renting the home from someone else then you need a Homeowners HO-4 form which will cover the contents that you own inside the home as well as your liability exposure. Each party must have their coverage to cover their own property and liability exposures.

Is it legal for the bank to require you to purchase home owners insurance for 3 times the value of the loan?
Your homeowners insurance in the United States must by law cover the value of the home being insured with no more than a 20% deviation. This may be more or less than the amount of your loan. No insurer will knowingly sell you a home insurance policy below the home value as such an insurance contract would be invalid. Homeowners insurance is for the home, not for the loan. You can purchase your homeowners insurance based on actual cash value of the home or on the replacement cost of the home. If you only want to insure a mortgage loan amount, that's what mortgage insurance is for.
