The presence of a single legal marijuana plant could lead your home insurer to deny your claim GlobeInvestor
What was surprising about the case was the evidence of Wawanesa’s underwriting expert that a single cannabis plant would constitute a material change in the insurer’s eyes, and thus give the insurer grounds to void a standard home policy. If this is indeed the case, any homeowner exercising her new-found rights under the Cannabis Act may be left without coverage – even for losses entirely unrelated to cannabis.
It remains to be seen whether a court would permit an insurer to void a policy on such grounds, and whether an insurer would risk the adverse publicity that would likely come with such a decision. In the interim, prudent homeowners should consider erring on the side of caution and informing their home insurers of the presence of any marijuana plants.
