Insurance for Someone Else's HomeYes, You can Insure the property of another person. So Long as you have authorization to do so and the owner is benefited, or an other insurable interest in that property exists.

You can not insure the property of another when no insurable interest exists. It would be unlawful to insure the property or life of another where the intent is to gain unduly from anothers loss.

Can you get homeowners insurance on someone elses property?

You must have an insurable interest to effect valid coverage. Property must be insured in the name of the owner. So if you want to buy someone else a policy for their property you can certainly pay the bill for some else's property insurance but you can not insure it in your own name. If you insured someone else's home in any name other than the legal property owner and it burned down or suffered some other loss, the Insurance company can not legally pay your claim simply because the property does not belong to you. They would also not have to pay the owner because he or she was not an insured on the policy. The proper way to insure it would be under the name of the legal owner, If you also have an insurable interest in the property, then your name can be added as a co-insured. Should a claim arise, the claim check would be issued under both names.

Can you get home insurance on a home you are renting?

You can buy insurance on whether or not it will rain tomorrow. This is just to show that you can insure anything. Now for your question. I'm not sure I completely understand it. You cannot insure something that you don't own so if you mean can you insure a home that you are paying rent to live in then no. You can purchase a homeowners policy to insure your contents inside the home as well as your liability should you be sued by someone hurt on the property. This would be an HO-4 policy form. If you are asking if you can insure a home you are renting to someone else for them to live in then the answer is also yes. You would need a dwelling fire policy that stipulates it is tenant occupied which can be a DP-1, DP-2, or DP-3 depending on the condition of the property and the coverage you desire. You will also want to make sure you endorse the policy to provide liability coverage as well and to cover any property inside the home that you own.
