Do mortgage companies require proof of tenant insurance if I am renting the home to a third party? Additionally, do they conduct inspections at any time during the rental agreement?

They will do the inspection at the beginning, in order to qualify you and they will require proof as part of the qualifying process.  Later on, after you have the loan, they may from time to time check on things.  I don’t know if they do years later or how often.

The lender requires the owner/borrower to carry hazard (home owners) insurance regardless of whether the property is rented to tenants with renters insurance. Renters insurance is not a substitute for homeowners insurance.  It is common for the insurance company to inspect the property when first gaining the insurance, but not necessarily so in subsequent years unless a major claim has been made.

No……But yes sometimes the insurance carrier will want to inspect a rental property.  Especially on commercial properties.

I’ve had Mercury Insurance come out and inspect some of my rentals and want certain repairs to be done.

you mean landlord insurance or the tenant having their own renter’s insurance?

mortgage would require the home to be properly insurance, and I would think that includes landlord insurance (in case the tenant destroys the place)

tenant insurance doesn’t really cover the house or land…it would cover liability if the tenant did something stupid and caused a lot of damage….but as long as there was landlord insurance, it would be covered..so i doubt the mortgage company would require tenant insurance…i know tenants that don’t have insurance, i don’t know if their landlords have a mortgage or not.
