Vacant Property Insurance in Canada
Protect Empty Homes and Commercial Buildings With Trusted Coverage
Vacant properties are magnets for risk — and most standard insurance stops covering them after 30 days. Whether you’re selling, renovating, or between tenants, our Vacant Property Insurance keeps you protected from fire, water damage, theft, and vandalism.
Get flexible 3-, 6-, or 12-month terms for residential and commercial buildings anywhere in Canada — issued same-day so you’re never left exposed.
Get Quoted. Get Certain.
Why Vacant Properties Need Special Insurance
When a property is unoccupied, insurers consider it a higher risk. Most home or commercial policies cancel or restrict coverage after a set vacancy period — leaving you financially vulnerable.
Common Situations That Require Coverage:
Selling a home and waiting for a buyer
Between tenants at a rental property
Waiting for permits before construction begins
Cosmetic renovations or remodeling
Holding property during an estate settlement
Top Risks for Vacant Properties:
Fire & Smoke Damage
Repair costs can escalate quickly
Theft & Burglary
Empty buildings attract intruders
Vandalism
Graffiti, break-ins, and malicious mischief
Water Damage
Frozen pipes, sewer backup, and leaks
Storm Damage
Lightning, wind, and severe weather events
Without dedicated coverage, you’re left paying these losses out of pocket.
