Somebody can afford a house, but meanwhile can not afford the Homeowners Insurance any more. So is it a must-have for every Homeowner Insurance? If you want to know the answer, please considering the following situations and ask yourselves whether you have encountered them.

1. The home under the payment of a mortgage

To be a teacher, you must have a Teacher Qualification Certificate. While to be a homeowner, you can legally own a home without homeowners insurance. But sometimes you can not just decide it by yourself. Your house always involves some other people such as your lenders. Your lenders will most likely require you to get homeowners insurance coverage. That’s because lenders need to protect their investment in your home in case your house burns down or is badly damaged by a storm, tornado or other disaster.

2. The home located in a place of many natural disasters

If you live in an area that is likely to flood, the bank will also require you to purchase flood insurance. Some financial institutions may also require earthquake coverage if you live in a region vulnerable to earthquakes. If you buy a co-op or condominium, your board will probably require you to buy homeowners insurance.

    Fortunately, if you clean up your mortgage, nobody would force you to by homeowners insurance. However, to a large extent, it is not advisable to cancel your policy and risk losing what you’ve invested in your house
