⚠️

Reporting obligation: Always report vacancies!

Has your home been vacant for more than 2-3 months? Report this immediately to your insurer. Vacancy is an increase in risk. Many insurers limit coverage to only fire, storm and lightning. Burglary, vandalism and water damage are then NOT covered. We find insurers who do offer extensive coverage in the event of vacancy.

⚠️

Why is Vacancy Increased Risk?

πŸ‘οΈ No Daily Supervision

Damage is discovered later. Small problems grow into major damage due to lack of control.

πŸ”“ Burglary & Squatting

Vacant homes are attractive to burglars and squatters. No one at home = free play.

πŸ”₯ Arson

Vacant buildings are more likely to become victims of arson. No residents = no quick detection.

πŸ’§ Water damage

Leaks go unnoticed. Frost damage to pipes when heating is off.

🏚️ Deterioration

Overdue maintenance, graffiti, decay. Makes buildings more attractive to criminals.

🌿 Hemp farm

Criminals can use vacant buildings for cannabis cultivation. Increases fire and lockout risk.
