The only way to buy insurance would be to lie and commit fraud. Home owners associations also require insurance.

I'm sure that's what's happening, probably unintentionally. And you're okay, until a crime is committed, someone is hurt, damages are done or the place burns down. Then the insurance company says, "Oh, you were renting it out? Good luck!"

Why would he need to lie? Landlord insurance is trivial to get and IIRC (it's been a few years) cheaper than regular homeowner's insurance.

You can't buy insurance for an illegal activity.

Why? Do no insurance polices cover landlords? Or do those policies specify a duration for a tenant to stay?
