what is home insurance
Posted: Mon Aug 09, 2010 5:34 pm
Hello friends welcome to the forums.
Home insurance, also commonly called hazard insurance or homeowners insurance (often abbreviated
in the real estate industry as HOI), is the type of property insurance that covers private
homes. It is an insurance policy that combines various personal insurance protections, which can
include losses occurring to one's home, its contents, loss of its use (additional living
expenses), or loss of other personal possessions of the homeowner, as well as liability
insurance for accidents that may happen at the home or at the hands of the homeowner within the
policy territory. It requires that at least one of the named insureds occupies the home. The
dwelling policy (DP) is similar, but used for residences which don't qualify for various
reasons, such as vacancy/non-occupancy, seasonal/secondary residence, or age.
Thanks
