When a rental property is between tenants for an extended period
Estate properties awaiting probate or sale
Properties held for future development
Seasonal homes during off-season months exceeding policy vacancy limits
Vacant Home Insurance FAQs
How long can a home be vacant before I need special coverage?
Most standard homeowners policies have a vacancy clause that reduces or voids coverage after 30-60 days of vacancy. Once you know your home will be vacant for more than 30 days, you should arrange vacant home coverage.
What's the difference between vacant and unoccupied?
Unoccupied means no one is living there but furniture and belongings remain. Vacant typically means the property is empty of both people and personal belongings. Insurance treats these differently.
Do I need to check on the property regularly?
Yes. Most vacant home policies require regular inspections (often weekly or bi-weekly) and documentation. Some require checking specific items like heating systems in winter.
Can I get coverage during renovations?
Yes. We offer vacant home policies that specifically cover renovation periods. These policies account for the additional risks of construction activities.
Is vacant home insurance more expensive?
Yes, vacant home insurance typically costs more than standard homeowners insurance because vacant properties face higher risks. However, it's far less expensive than paying for uninsured losses.
