Who this is built for

Building owners and business tenants closing, moving, renovating, subleasing, or leaving space substantially empty.

How to use it

  1. Record the date occupancy materially changed and describe what operations, contents, and people remain.
  2. Do not rely on everyday meaning of vacant; compare the facts with the policy's vacancy definition and timing rule.
  3. Notify the insurer or broker before a planned move, closure, or prolonged empty period when practical and save the response.

What this template cannot prove

A worksheet or email template cannot create insurance coverage, establish legal worker status, modify an insurance policy, or guarantee that a contract requirement has been satisfied. When a field depends on coverage, confirm the policy or endorsement. When it depends on state law, use the responsible state authority.
