Home insurance protects the largest investment you will probably ever make and is also mandatory if you have a mortgage. However, it can be quite distressing when your home insurance is canceled. At Focus Insurance in Eureka, MO, we are here to help when a cancellation happens.<\/p>\n

Non-payment of premium<\/strong><\/h2>\n

One of the most common reasons for home insurance policy cancellation is non-payment of the premium. Most carriers allow a grace period, and even if you have gone beyond that, if you are a long-standing customer or regularly pay on time, it is probably not a big issue. Getting it reinstated with your agent’s help should be rather easy.<\/p>\n

Not maintaining your home.<\/strong><\/h2>\n

Your home insurance company conducts periodic inspections. If they inspect the exterior of your home and notice maintenance issues, they will most likely send you a letter specifying what they expect you to do. If they don’t hear from you, there is a chance your policy will be canceled. Once you complete the repairs, you can send them a photo to show proof of your compliance.<\/p>\n

You misstated facts in your application.<\/strong><\/h2>\n

If you misrepresent facts on your application and it is discovered, your policy could be voided. You may also have a claim denied, receive a low payout, or even face an insurance fraud charge. It just isn’t worth it.<\/p>\n

Regardless of the reason for the cancellation, speak to your insurance agent immediately to secure alternative coverage. You need to ensure that the mortgage company doesn’t enforce a policy on you as it would not be to your advantage.<\/p>\n
