It depends on your needs. For a home that is occupied by the owner, a homeowners policy does offer more coverage. However, it also includes more requirements and is more restrictive on the policyholder.

Can you deduct homeowner's insurance on a rental property?

First, a homeowners policy is not what you need for rental property. A homeowners policy is only for a house that is owner occupied. For a house that you rent to others you need to purchase a tenant occupied dwelling fire policy. You must have the proper policy for the situation that you have. The coverage under a homeowners policy ceases when the owner has not lived in the home for 90 days. You need a good insurance agent to advise you and help you purchase the proper policy for your needs. To answer the question, you can deduct the premiums paid for a dwelling fire policy that you rent to someone else.

Will home owners cover damage by tenants to a hard wood floor?

First, if you are renting the home you should not have a homeowners policy on it. In you homeowners policy it states that 90 days after you move out of your home the coverage ceases even if you keep paying the premium there is no coverage. Homeowners policies are only for owner occupied homes. If it is rented you should have a tenant occupied dwelling fire insurance policies. In any case the both policies exclude damage caused by occupants. And damage must be by a covered cause. None of which work. Sorry.

What is force-placed or lender-placed insurance?

A Bank or Mortgage company requires that the borrower maintain "hazard" insurance and list them as an additional insured. The "hazard" insurance is a homeowners or dwelling fire policy. If they do not receive proof of insurance coverage or if they receive a cancellation from the insurance carrier they will secure coverage on your behalf to "protect their interest" . This policy is usually a Fire Policy that Only covers the Bldg for the amount of the loan. It will not provide coverage for personal property or liability. The premium is high and they will simply increase the mtge payment to escrow the payment for this policy.
