Did you know? In Ontario, residential insurance claims may be denied if your apartment, condo or house is left unattended for a period of time.

Not knowing what is going on with your home while you're away can be scary and stressful. Leaving your home vacant or unoccupied while you’re away can leave you with unwanted consequences.

Do you know the difference between unoccupied and vacant?

In this video Sophie Silverman, a Certified Home Watch Professional at A.G.Secure HomeWatch explains the difference. An unoccupied home has furniture and the utilities still hooked up in anticipation of a return. 

A vacant home is empty of furniture and no utilities are hooked up.

Insurance providers offer vacant or unoccupied policies that could cost as much as 50-150% more than your regular premium. A home watch company can help to drastically lower that premium. Check with your insurance provider and find out how often your home should be checked on while you are away.
