Homeowners (HO-3, HW-2)
This policy type is available for detached, single-family homes and duplexes in which at one unit is owner-occupied. The owner must live in the home as their primary residence. A homeowners policy covers the building, other structures on the property, and the owner's personal property, and also provides additional living expense and personal liability coverage.
Modified Homeowners (HO-8)
Another type of homeowners policy - HO-8 - offers modified coverage for 11 named perils, with several major exclusions. This limited coverage excludes many types of losses, including most caused by water. Full replacement cost coverage is not available with an HO-8 policy. Claim payments are commonly made for actual cash value, which can result in significantly lower claims payouts. HO-8 policies may not meet the minimum insurance requirements of many mortgage holders. Confirm with your mortgage holder that the HO-8 policy meets your insurance requirements before purchasing.

Mobile Home Tenant/Renters Contents (MHO-4)
