    If they think this is a hoarder, they ought to take a look at 2 of the homes near me lol. Both have been fined and forced to clean up by the city multiple times. One house was so bad they had junk like old cars, appliances, and old parts covering the sidewalk, let alone their own yard. I can see an insurance company dropping them, but this isn’t even close to bad.

      Oh I agree, I don’t think he should’ve been dropped especially since they’re not showing the photos they took meaning it’s likely not that bad. I was more so just referring to the use of drone tech for this type of inspection. I think that’s fine, as long as they’re giving proper notification like what’s required with human inspectors.

      The video is from the news station doing the story, he’s had plenty of time to stage the yard to make himself look better.

        yea but if you’re assuming the guy might lie then it’s just a he-said-she-said between insurance companies that are known to employ awful shitty practices and just some dude and you’re taking the side of the corporations

          As someone who works in insurance, this guy sounds like an otherwise ideal customer. The insurance company would be turning down easy profit if they really cancelled his policy for no reason.

          This isn’t like denying a claim for shitty reasons. If this company cancelled someone with no claims in a low risk area, they either had a good reason or fucked up.
