In the beginning, we provided proof that we have a house-watcher visit our home, inside and out, once a week. The insurance company was OK with that. Now that they found that we are planning to move down Sept 10 they are getting antsy. Can they cancel our insurance? Can they force us to move down before my treatment is completed?
You said the house is uninhabited, but you didn't say if it is also unfurnished. As the last poster suggested, it is easy to buy some inexpensive furniture and have it delivered.

There are many snowbirds in The Villages that regularly leave their homes for long periods of time. I've never heard of anyone losing insurance because their house is uninhabited.
