Some do some don't, some will not write them at all(I know, seems Stupid). Agents are at the mercy of underwriters (Professional No People)who live inside of a BOX! Unfortunatley, I don't make the rules and it would be scary if I did. Your neighbor is still on the hook for atleast 2% wind deductible if not more.
