Protecting Properties As They Sit Vacant
When it comes to property damage due to fire, weather damage, theft, vandalism or tenant damage; the good news is that most property insurance policies cover these issues under Property Damage Coverage. However, the bad news is that if a house that has been left alone and vacant for too long and it faces the risks of vandalism, theft, broken windows, criminal activity, and a host of other issues. After being vacant for 30 or more consecutive days, with most insurers, a property will receive no coverage as the entire policy becomes void.
There are steps you can take to protect your property and make it less appealing to thieves vandals as it sits vacant:
Install security cameras with video surveillance, and even more importantly display signs and window decals indicating that the property is well protected.
Install sensor lights to maintain a well-lit area when activated by motion
Ensure that all gates and fences are locked and have controlled access.
