“Home insurance being cancelled because I wasn’t home when the inspector came?”

“Dear PoPville,

My husband and I bought a home in Brookland in October 2018. We received a letter from our insurance provider a few weeks ago stating that they are unable to renew our policy at the end of the year because we “refused” the home inspection. Neither my husband or I have any knowledge or memory of refusing a home inspector, and frankly if they had shown appropriate credentials we would have allowed.

The provider is now stating that the underwriter refuses to reissue the policy once someone has refused inspection (which of course we didn’t) and that this is non-negotiable and that we are not permitted to speak with the underwriter. Now they state the only option is to write up a new policy. Is this normal? This feels like price gouging and frankly smells real fishy to me?”

For many remote workers, a messy home is distracting.

You’re getting pulled into meetings, and your unread emails keep ticking up. But you can’t focus because pet hair tumbleweeds keep floating across the floor, your desk has a fine layer of dust and you keep your video off in meetings so no one sees the chaos behind you.

It’s no secret a dirty home is distracting and even adds stress to your life. And who has the energy to clean after work? That’s why it’s smart to enlist the help of professionals, like Well-Paid Maids.
