Non-Renewal

Insurance Glossary

An insurer declining to continue a policy when the current term ends, rather than ending it mid-term. Unlike a cancellation it takes effect on the renewal date, and states require advance written notice, commonly 30 to 60 days, so the policyholder has time to arrange replacement coverage. Claims history, property condition, and an insurer withdrawing from a region are common reasons.
