Leaving your home vacant for an extended period could create an insurance surprise when you least expect it. Many homeowner policies contain a vacancy clause that may limit or exclude certain coverage after the property has been unoccupied for a specified period, often 30 to 60 consecutive days.This can be especially important if you've moved into your next home before your current one sells, inherited a property, or have a home undergoing major renovations.Before leaving a property vacant, contact your insurance professional.
