Home insurance ( hazard insurance, homeowners insurance ) is a property insurance that covers private houses.
It's an insurance policy that includes a few personal insurance protections such as house loss, its contents or loss of other personal possessions of the owner.
The house insurance premium depends on what it would cost to replace the asset and which additional insured items are attached to the insurance policy.
The insurance policy inclues what would and what wouldn't be paid in the case of various events.
Events that won't be included in the policy are earthquakes, floods, "Acts of God" or war.
For theses special events one can buy a special insurance.
The house insurance policy is valid for a specific period of time. The payment the insured makes to the insurer is called the premium.
