Vacant Property Insurance
Available in OH, KY, TN, PA, IN, IL, MN, MS, MO, AR, AZ
When a home becomes vacant, a standard homeowners policy may give the carrier the right to cancel mid-term, lower coverage levels, or even deny a claim. In fact, many insurance companies don’t like to cover a vacant home because it is more likely to suffer certain kinds of damage, such as a break-in by kids or vagrants, or damage that grows to a large scale, for example a water leak that goes undetected.
