Vacant Building

Vacant Building Insurance

When your commercial building is unoccupied, such as when you’re in between tenants, awaiting your first tenants, or undergoing renovations, it exposes your property to higher levels of risk. Your regular property insurance may lack the necessary coverage.

Protect your vacant buildings from potential losses from accidents, vandalism, or theft with this specialized type of insurance coverage from Eber & Associates.

How Do You Define Vacant?

The vacancy clause in your commercial property insurance defines when your building is considered vacant and also outlines the limits of your property insurance during that time.

By understanding the limitations of commercial property insurance, you can be prepared with the appropriate coverage.

Limits of Commercial Property Insurance

The vacancy clause in your commercial property insurance defines when your building is considered vacant and also outlines the limits of your property insurance during that time.

For instance, take a typical policy that excludes coverage for water damage, theft, sprinkler leakage, and vandalism if your building remains vacant for 60 days. If a loss happens while a building is unoccupied, your payment may be decreased by up to 15 percent.

Risks Associated With Vacant Buildings

When commercial properties are left vacant, they become more susceptible to various risks, such as fire, theft, vandalism, and sprinkler leakage. This is due to the lack of anyone present to monitor and safeguard the property.

Without anyone to oversee your property, problems can escalate and worsen. For example, a sprinkler leak might gradually lead to substantial water damage. The appropriate vacant building insurance can supplement your commercial property insurance and keep your business protected.
