    If you have homeowner insurance, it means that you live in the insured premises. If you have landlord insurance, it means that you have a tenant renting the premises. I imagine that if you have a 2 to 4 unit multi-family where you live in one of the units, that having both might be possible; I've never done that so I can't say with certainty.

    Presuming you are talking about having both policies on the same property, the answer - here anyway - would be "No". Taking Steve Babiak example of a 4-plex where you reside in one unit. You would have "landlord" insurance on the property, then you would also have tenants insurance on the possessions in your unit.

    There is a good chance this could be handled differently in Florida.
