Does my own insurance cover me when I stay in an Airbnb or VRBO?

All FAQs

Quick answer: Under Georgia's Unfair Claims Settlement Practices Act (O.C.G.A. 33-6-30 to 37), the insurer must acknowledge a claim within 15 days and decide a first-party property claim within 15 days of a completed proof of loss. Under O.C.G.A. 33-4-6, a bad-faith refusal after a 60-day written demand can cost the carrier up to 50 percent of the loss or $5,000, whichever is greater, plus attorney's fees.
