If you are the owner of the house, and are renting to tenants (making you the landlord), then you only have insurance on the house (dwelling coverage - not homeowners coverage) and not the personal contents of the renters. In this case, no, your insurance will not cover their loss. It is the responsibility of the renters to purchase insurance coverage on their personal belongings. If you are the renter (tenant), then you have to buy contents coverage on your personal belongings, such as furniture, clothing, etc. The landlord is not responsible for your belongings, whether the loss is from robbery, fire, etc. In order to purchase homeowners insurance you have to own the home (but it can still be mortgaged) and you have to live in the home. Otherwise, you have to have a dwelling policy on the house if you want it insured, whether it's vacant or rented. If, however, there is still a mortgage on the house, the bank (or mortgage holder) will require you to have insurance on it. If the house is paid for, then it is at your discretion whether to have it insured or not, for the value of the house. But if you rent it out, your state may require that you carry liability insurance on it.
The dwelling Owners policy does not cover the property or liability of a tenant. Rental dwellings are covered under a Dwelling Policy that covers rental properties not a homeowners policy. If the tenant seeks coverage, the tenant must buy his own Renters Insurance Policy.

if you paid cash for the house do you need homeowners insurance
The insurance company reserves that right.
No, Homeowners insurance is for the house. it does not cover cars or car accident claims.
If your parents bought their house they do not need renters insurance but they do need house insurance. They should insure the house for two things, one for the contents and any damage to the home, and two if there is a mortgage they should have insurance to cover that in the event that anything should happen to either of them.
No, Hopefully the stranger had a life insurance policy. Homeowners insurance does not provide life insurance or accidental death benefits.
I have the same question! A car did hit my house and I started to go through my homeowners insurance , but however I am thinking after all the problems that I am having with my homeowners that maybe it would have been best to go through the car company insurance.
