Does landlord insurance cover my tenant's belongings?
No — landlord insurance generally covers the structure, your own landlord-owned property (like appliances you provide), and liability, not a tenant's personal belongings, which is why many landlords require tenants to carry renters insurance.
Can I just keep my homeowners policy once I start renting out the property?
Generally no — once a property becomes tenant-occupied, a standard homeowners policy is typically no longer valid for it, and the property needs a landlord (dwelling fire) policy underwritten for rental risk instead.
