Homeowners Policy (HO)Question 294 of 474
A tenants form (HO-4) differs from the owner-occupied forms mainly because it:
a.covers the landlord's building for its full value
b.carries no Coverage A limit on the building itself
c.leaves out personal liability for the renting party
d.insures personal property on an open-perils basis
Explanation
A renter does not own the structure, so the tenants form insures contents and loss of use and carries no dwelling limit; the landlord insures the building separately. The open-perils answer describes the HO-5, since contents on a tenants form are written on the broad list of named perils.
