Q: If someone lives in their friends home and their property get's stolen, can they file a claim with their home insurance?
The person who owns the house had a guest over for dinner and the guest stole the items.
A: It depends on the terms of the home insurance. The best first step is an Initial Consultation with an Attorney. You can read more about me on my law practice website.

A: Much depends on the homeowner's insurance policy and what your living arrangements are. Do you pay rent? How long have you been living there? Is it a temporary or a permanent arrangement? The first thing I would do is ask you friend about his/her homeowner's policy and find out how you may file a claim. Your loss may not be covered, but it is certainly worth investigating further in my opinion without knowing much more of your facts.
