Have never heard of this type of conduct by insurance companies. I have
owned houses since 1966 and have never had anything like that happen.
There are lots of house insurance companies so if one is hassling you, try
another.

I've heard of experiences from family & friends of retaining or
obtaining home insurance for their properties here in Canada. Is the same
true in the USA? Is it a trend?

When I bought my home I had to provide proof of the age and condition
of
the furnace oil tank before I could get an insurance policy. My mother
was
threatened twice by her home insurance company of cancellation if she
didn't
replace furnace oil tank and her roof.

I know they are trying to protect their losses but should they be able
to threaten their customers like this?
