How long must an insured maintain coverage for personal property in the case of moving to a new location under a dwelling policy?

Under a dwelling policy, when an insured moves to a new location, they are required to maintain coverage for personal property for a duration of 30 days. This provision is designed to ensure that policyholders have continuous protection during the transition to a new residence. It allows time for the insured to ensure that their personal belongings are covered while they are in the process of relocating.

This coverage period is important as it provides security against potential losses during the move, which can often be a chaotic and vulnerable time for personal property. Having this window allows the insured to either extend their existing policy or secure new insurance for their new location, ensuring that they are not left without coverage during the critical transition period.
