Vacant
Not lived in and void of furnishings.
Vacant (Property Insurance)
A building that does not have any contents or inhabitants.
Vacant property
Once defined as devoid of occupants or contents, a stricter definition is being applied as more and more communities find older buildings of three and four stories that are only one quarter occupied. Property policies impose limitations on coverage of vacant buildings so the (changing) definition of vacant property is quite important. A single dwelling may be considered vacant when there is insufficient furniture and appliances to make the property habitable.
Valid
