Homeowners Policy (HO)Question 302 of 474
A homeowner rents a detached backyard cottage to a stranger who runs a salon there. Under Coverage B the cottage is:
a.covered in full up to the Coverage B limit
b.covered under Coverage A as part of the home
c.covered, but only for fire and lightning
d.not covered, as it is a business rental
Explanation
Coverage B drops a structure that is rented to someone who is not a tenant of the dwelling, and it also drops any structure held for business use; a detached garage rented to a tenant of the home is the narrow exception. The answer paying the full Coverage B limit ignores both the rental and the business use, and the structure is detached, so Coverage A never reaches it.
