Best Answer

Depending on the insurance company they may give you a discount, usually 5- 10%.

In essence when you have a mortgage on a property the insurance company notes it on your homeowners policy and sends a letter to the mortgage holder providing proof that you have protected their (your house) asset by insuring it.

Discounts that may be available: Mortgage Free, Monitored Alarm Discount, Multi Policy, Claims Free, Senior.

How do multiple loss claims on a personal articles policy for jewelry affect this policy and your Auto and homeowners?

Multiple losses on any policy will guarantee a cancellation. A cancellation on a home insurance policy will pretty much guarantee that you will not get another homeowners policy at anything close to a reasonable rate. Also, you can be assured that no company will allow you to purchase jewelry floater policy either. I hope your state has an insurance pool for those who can't buy insurance in the private sector.

How does no homeowner's insurance affect mortgage?

Generally: First, failure to carry homeowner's insurance is likely a breach of the mortgage. If the lender discovers your property is uninsured it can call in the full amount of the loan immediately. If you can't pay it, the lender may be able to take possession of the property by foreclosure. Second, if your house burns down you will not have coverage for the damage and will still owe the full amount of the mortgage. The lender may also sue for breach of contract and place you deeper in debt.
