Does Commercial Property Cover Vandalism?
Often—commercial property forms commonly cover vandalism, but vacancy conditions, exclusions, and location-specific terms can change the result.
Those summaries describe common forms, not a guarantee for a particular location. Vacancy clauses, repeated damage, damage during construction, or failure to maintain required protections can change the outcome. The policy’s deductible and any special location terms still apply.
Confirm that vandalism appears in the selected causes-of-loss form and review exclusions for vacant or unoccupied buildings, intentional damage by an insured, and property outside. Check the reporting conditions, deductible, and any sublimit. If vandalism interrupts operations, verify business-income coverage separately and confirm that the physical loss qualifies as a covered trigger.
