Looked it up. No state requires home owner insurance. You can bet every mortgage company does.
But they do that for prudent business reasons. It's not political. They are protecting their loan.
Like when I buy a new pickup. Yeah the state requires I keep liability for other drivers protection, but for my truck, it is the lender than requires I keep full coverage on the truck until my loan is paid off so I don't total it and walk away from the loan unpaid because I can't afford to get the truck fixed.
Once you pay off the loan, the mortgage company doesn't care what you do. Lol. Had a buddy get his new truck repo'd. Tried to skimp on the full coverage and the loan company found out and repo'd that sucker.
