What type of government help is available to homeowners who own their home?
No
Yes, if you own a home, homeowners insurance is definitely recommended, if not mandatory by some mortgage lenders.
Yes, if you cancel your home insurance policy mid term you would be entitled to the unearned portion of your premium payments.
No, but if he owns a home he can buy his own insurance, or he can buy tenants insurance if he does not.
Most homes that you buy now require you to have homeowners insurance. This is to not only protect you in the event something happens to the home, but to protect the company who sold you the home. Homeowners insurance is added in with the monthly payment and covers everything from fires to floods. It is a good investment even if you are not buying a home. Homeowners insurance is available for people who already own their home and want added protection.
The liability portion of your home insurance policy provides protection in the event someone asserts a claim of liability against the homeowner for damages or injuries.
Yes, In fact you are required to get your own home insurance when you buy a home. You can not inherit the previous owners insurance policy. The previous owners insurance is null and void the moment they sell the home.
No, Homeowners insurance does not provide comprehensive, collision nor liability insurance for your vehicles. Now if somebody's vehicle hits your house, your home insurance would cover the damages to your home.
No, the permission of only one of the owners is sufficient to search their common residence. (Exception: if the building is divided into a duplex or clearly separate apartment or domiciles, then only the portion of the building relating to the permission-giving owner may be entered and searched.)
Renters don't own anything as a result of their payments, while homeowners do.
If you don't carry homeowners insurance and you have your home financed, you are breaking the contract and your bank will take out a forced place policy to cover their interest in the home and you will have to pay the premium which is far more than a homeowners policy. If it's not financed, you take the entire risk of loss upon yourself.
