In the ever-changing landscape of property management, owners often find themselves dealing with unoccupied properties. Whether it's due to renovations, awaiting new tenants, or other reasons, unoccupied properties come with a unique set of challenges, particularly in the realm of insurance.

Understanding the Risks

Unoccupied properties are more vulnerable to certain risks compared to their occupied counterparts. From vandalism and theft to potential damage from undetected issues like leaks or electrical faults, these properties require a different approach to insurance coverage. For this reason, insurers do restrict the coverage unlike occupied insurance which provides much wider coverage.
