My insurance called me yesterday and informed me that they would be cancelling my insurance because I have rented my house to a group of students. They gave me two weeks to find new insurance before they cut me off. I'm having trouble finding someone who will insure us. If they cut my insurance, my bank will cancel my mortgage, and I guess that means I'd lose the house. Is this insurance company allowed to drop me in this manner. When we got the insurance two months ago there was nobody living in the house, but it was rental insurance. We never lied or anything, we were completely honest through the whole process.
most insurance policies range from 30 to 90 days on a cancellation for non payment.
You need to stop and read your policy carefully. If this is a home owners policy there is likely an exclusion for using the house as a business.
When you bought the insurance you were probably purchased it through an agent. He didnt care what you told him. all he wanted to do was sale the policy. It's the underwriter that now wants to cancel it.
Bottom line. I think that you have two options.
1. Purchase a commercial property insurance policy. (expensive but doable.)
2. Search around and find another homeowners insurance policy and buy 1M dollars worth of umbrella coverage.
I'd spend my time looking for option two. The minute you ask about an umbrella, agents will be knocking your door down.

After reading the whole scenario I find the proposed solution a great way to get rid of it. And moreover it is recommended that before signing the policy papers a person must read all the terms carefully to know what is actually covered.
