Does Home Insurance Cover When You Rent Out The House And The Tenant Causes A House Fire?

In: Home Insurance

Does home insurance cover when I rent out the house and the tenant causes a house fire (assuming the house completely burnt down)? If not, do I need to buy landlord’s insurance or ask the tenant to buy renter’s insurance? Where can i compare home insures? Thanks

“Homeowners insurance” covers the owners dwelling [house/garage] and contents [owners personal property on the premises]. “Owner” [landlord if he is the owner] takes out this policy and is responsible for the premiums. If building is leased or rented out, it does NOT cover tenants personal property, such as furniture, electronics, etc, or even tools borrowed from a neighbor.
“Renters insurance” covers the tenants personal property only. They take out this policy and pay the premiums.
Home owners policies cover every circumstance EXCEPT what is listed in writing, or “exemptions”. These are normally: floods [obtain this through FEMA], home businesses losses [such as a fire in a residential garage being used as auto repair business], or anything else that is listed in writing. If your house up in Alaska gets stampeded by purple elephants, and it is NOT listed as an exclusion, it WILL be covered.
