This Is Why Most Insurance Companies Will Not Insure Vacant Homes in Ohio.

Homeowner’s insurance policies were designed to provide coverage for homes that are occupied, not homes or commercial buildings that are vacant.

Vacant homes and buildings invite added risk for insurance companies – this is the main reason why most insurance companies shy away from insuring vacant homes.

Common Claims on Vacant Homes

Vandalism- When a home or building that you own sits empty it is an open invitation for criminals and vandals to make some money or have some fun. Criminals may be interested in stealing what they can from a vacant home, including copper piping and wiring.

The subsequent damage can cost insurance companies tens of thousands of dollars.

Liability- Can you be found legally liable for an injury to a criminal who breaks into your home and becomes injured in the course of his criminal activity? The answer is possibly yes.

That means your insurance company may be liable to pay for medical injuries, disability claims and pain and suffering up to your available limits when a criminal enters your home illegally and is injured!

If You Do Not Purchase Vacant Homeowners Insurance Coverage, What Risk Do You Face?

Insurance companies place within the fine print of their insurance policies language that restricts your ability to obtain coverage for certain types of claim events when your home becomes vacant.

Example: If a criminal with the intention of stealing the copper out of your home, sets your home on fire, your insurance company can deny coverage on your fire and vandalism claim if your property has sat vacant for 30 days or longer!
