Actually, the home owner pays the home owner's insurance. The lender has an escrow account. This is in additional to the payment of interest and repayment of principal. The escrow account pays the taxes and insurance. The escrow account pays the taxes so the government does not seize the property. The homeowners insurance pays in case the house burns down. So, you pay into the escrow account, and if your house burns down, the lender gets the insurance money. You would not pay a mortgage on a burned down house and the bank knows that, so they have you pay into the escrow account and they pay for the insurance.
