Quote from @Glen Wiley: If you have an insurance claim with renters in the property and a homeowner policy I would expect the claim to be denied.The benefit of landlord insurance is that it will actually cover you, if you try to rent a house out with a typical homeowner policy you are simply not covered (even though you are paying premiums).Insurance is not where you want to go lowest bidder or look to cut corners - it is there to save your behind in the event of a major incident.Thank you!
