requiring a higher deductible for home insurance if I don't bundle my auto insurance?

I was looking for home insurance for a new home that we are closing on soon, I fillled out online an soon as I finished a rep called from Alllstate trying to get me better deal, after everything said and done the Rep said by law he had to charge a higher deductable ($5k compared to $1k online quote) if I  didn't bunddle home with there auto insurance. My question is is there such a law or somthing..... ?

I'll be curious to the answer to this, I just dropped car insurance from my long time home insurance policy. I'm very skeptical of any such law, it would make no sense. Sound more like a sales pitch.

I would be very skeptical as well.  Unless you grossly misunderstood something, he sounds like an unscrupulous agent trying to make a bigger commision from selling multiple policies.

By law I would say NO WAY.  By company policy, possible.   To get you the same rate, likely.
