Yes you are required under the terms of you insuring contract to notify your insurer of any change in occupancy lasting greater than 30 days.

Should you fail to do so and a claim arises, and the insurance company finds out that you have transformed the property or parts thereof to tenant occupied, The Insurance company can retroactively declare your policy null and void due to concealment of a known risk even if a claim has already been filed and can deny any and all claims whether property claims or injury claims.

Do you have to notify your home insurance company if you decide to rent your home to someone else?

Yes, since the situation has changed. Also, you want different coverage such as loss of rent. For example, if there is a fire and your tenant cannot stay at the home, they are not paying rent. By having such coverage, the insurance company provides you with compensation of the loss rent. Also, you can face action from the company by purposely not notifying them of the change.


Is renters insurance required if you do not pay rent?

The insurance company doesn't really care if you pay rent or not,they only care about what sort of policy coverage is on the property.So the answer to the question is "it depends".If you're not paying rent because you're living in your parents' basement, then there's a good likelihood that they have insurance that covers the contents as well as the dwelling itself. Check the policy to be sure, and also make sure that your property is not the sort that's typically excluded from coverage (for example, jewelry may not be covered under a standard policy).If the property owner only has the dwelling itself insured (which may be the case if it's a property someone is letting you live in rent-free as opposed to them allowing you to live in their personal home), then your stuff is not covered; if it burns up, too bad for you, unless you have renters' insurance.


Does a homeowner have to have homeowners insurance before they can rent their home out?

No, it's not required, but it's really, really important unless you have the funds in the bank for someone to sue you if they fall or if someone leaves an unattended candle lit. Renters insurance carried by just the renter will only cover the renter's belongings, it will not cover your home.


Can a homeowners insurance policy drop the policy if no one is living in home and it is on the market to be sold?

Yes, If you have not the insurance company and endorsed the policy to vacant as required and they discover the vacancy they can cancel immediately and void all coverage retroactively to the date it became vacant. It's in the contract. Same if you rent it out and don't notify them.


How do you go about opening an insurance company?

Unfortunately the topic of how to open an insurance company is well outside of what can be properly explored on WikiAnswers. The procedure would vary depending on what type of company one seeks to open. The easiest-to-open insurance-related business would be a local insurance agency. At one of these agencies, employees sell insurance policies to local consumers but don't themselves underwrite the policies. In most cases, being an insurance agent is a state-licensed profession; you would need to check with your state's license-issuing body to understand what the requirements are. Generally this would involve obtaining training in the field and then passing a government test to demonstrate competence. After being licensed, you would need to find an insurance company (such as State Farm) for whom you can affiliate yourself in selling insurance. After this you could file paperwork to open the business, rent an office, buy equipment, hire employees, advertise, and do similar things.
