Don’t take risks with your property while you are away. Most people don’t read their home owners insurance policy, but if they did, they would notice that the policy won’t pay out for vandalism, damage and the like if the property has been vacant for more than 72 hours. If your property is left vacant for a longer period of time, say weeks or months, then your insurance company may treat the policy as completely void and any damage will have to be paid by you out-of-pocket. In other words, a vacant property can leave you uninsured.
