in general yes but you wouldn't be receiving the same type of policy if the owner is not living there (example you wouldn't need personal property coverage since your property would be at your primary residence).

No. You don't own the home, the owner pays that. You can get renters insurance if you want.

Adding on to that, homeowners insurance only covers the structure, not the contents. So while the owner will get paid for any damage to their building, anything you lose to a fire, flood, etc. is not covered in most cases. If you have a lot of valauble belongings it's always a good idea to have renters insurance. Also, most companies offer discounts for having renters insurance and auto insurance with the same company.

If you are renting your home and living with your boyfriend at his home why won't your insurance company cover your home?

It is possible that you have to be occupying the house to be covered by insurance. They see it as unprotected by the owner and anything could happen to it. I cant possibly be the first person to try and insure a property Im not occupying. Homeowners insurance covers your home, and a house you are renting to someone else is not your home. It can be insured, but you need a different policy.

What is the average deductible for 50.000 of renters insurance in georgia?

Renters insurance is a form of homeowners insurance. The form is HO-4. I assume that you mean the policy that the person renting purchases to cover their belongings and liability. Most all homeowners policies offer a wide variety of deductible choices usually ranging from $250 to $5000. The higher the deductible you choose the less the cost of the policy because you are assuming some of the risk for small claims. Most insurance companies have or are moving to increase their minimum deductible to $500. Look on your declarations page on the front of the policy and it should tell you the deductible.
