Over the years homeowners insurance has expanded to include many different types of products like: renters insurance, and inland marine floaters (for precious papers or objects in the home) condo owners insurance and townhouse owners insurance and many other types even within these categories.
Home insurance is important for the renter as well as the homeowner, it now contains coverages for such exposures as: fire, theft, wind, vandalism, liability of the homeowner, and other risks. Some insurance carriers offer broader forms and some restricted forms, so it is very important to read and understand your policy. Remember in homeowners insurance, generally the land value is separate from the house value which is separate from the contents (furniture). Generally speaking you need not insure the land as it will be there even if the house and contents are not. There are however, other coverages to insure land, like land title insurance, which many of us purchase when we buy a home.
