Yes they can cancel the insurance. The only reason they have to give is that it does not meet their underwriting standards, whcih can cover a lot of things. Most companies will only stay on a vacant house for 90 days. Since you have a firm date to move and have a house watcher, they might, and I mean might stay on until that time. If they do decide to cancel the policy there are companies who do insure vacant dwellings. The price is expensive but you would only need it for a few months. If the broker you are now dealing with does not have a market for the vacant house, look around, there are several who do it.
