Vacant Home Insurance – Covers Multiple Exclusions and Restrictions - VA, MD, DC

October 19, 2016      

As defined by the courts, a home is considered "vacant" if it does not contain enough furniture for a resident to reasonably live there. So if a home has no kitchen appliances, table and chairs, at least one bed to sleep on, nor somewhere to sit on such as living room chairs, chances are the homeowner’s insurance provider could try to apply vacancy exclusions to the loss. In response, the homeowner may have to spend a lot of cash for attorney fees just to contest the provider’s decision. In order to prevent this kind of scenario, it is best to just purchase a vacant home insurance policy from TriState.
