Is homeowners insurance required in Rhode Island?
No, Rhode Island does not legally require homeowners insurance. However, if you carry a mortgage, your lender will almost certainly require coverage sufficient to rebuild the home and protect its investment
What is a hurricane or windstorm deductible in Rhode Island?
Because of coastal exposure, insurers often use separate hurricane deductibles triggered by federal weather alerts or wind speed thresholds. These must be disclosed in your policy and comply with state guidelines
