Vacancy insurance riders in Wisconsin kick in after 30-60 consecutive days of unoccupied status, costing 200-400% more than standard coverage.

Mortgage acceleration clauses on vacant Wisconsin properties exist in some loan documents. Lenders rarely enforce them without other triggers, but they can call the loan if vacancy violates occupancy covenants.
