It is not possible to insure a property that you do not own. Insurance companies will verify that you have an insurable interest in the asset, which usually means that you are the owner. Personal assets that are not owned by you and are not required to be insured are covered as the personal property of others. This includes properties that belong to someone else but are not subject to a lease, and properties that you lease under a contract that does not require you to insure them. Homeowners insurance can provide coverage for the loss or damage of belongings, but only up to a certain limit.
If you want to protect the individual value of your possessions, scheduled personal property insurance (or disaggregated personal property) is the best option.

Personal property insurance and valuable personal property insurance are two types of coverage that can be included in your home insurance policy to help protect the value of your personal belongings.
