Thanks for nothing, Farm Bureau. I am so glad I went with other insurance here in Florida.
When we put our house on the market up north we had already moved out and were living in our winter place near Tampa. We had to cancel our homeowners policy with Met Life and purchase a policy that covered an unoccupied dwelling. Had we not done so and the house was vandalized the claim would have been denied, as our Met Life policy was based on the house being our residence (i.e. that we were living in it).

If you are interested, I can dig up the information on the company we purchased the temp policy from.
