    A good example of a good order for possession being granted

    claim rejected and Insurance cancelled due to non disclosure that house was rented out

    It doesn't matter in the slightest. The fact you failed to disclose that the house was rented makes your policy void and null. It is tough and it's a lesson for others to be very wary of.
