Do mentally ill home owners pay higher insurance?
Recently I deeded over an inherited home to my brother and myself as joint-tenants. My brother is paranoid-schizophrenic.
Will we pay higher higher home insurance because one owner is mentally-ill? Can the insurance company even refuse or cancel our insurance?
We and the home are in Michigan.
Your insurance will not be higher. Mental health has no bearing on your insuarance premium and mental health is not considered a risk. Your homeowner's insurance can't be denied, canceled or nonrenewed due to mental health or physical health issues either.
