Know Your Homeowner Insurance Rights

Know Your Homeowner Insurance Rights

It’s important that all homeowners know their rights, especially when it comes to homeowner’s insurance. If your insurance company is not going to renew the policy on your home, they must notify you in writing at least 45 days before the expiration date. If you didn’t receive the proper notice, contact the California Department of Insurance (DOI) at 1-800-927-HELP or online at www.insurance.ca.gov. Check to see if your policy has a guaranteed renewal provision. You may also be entitled to a renewal under laws applicable to homes that are lost in a declared disaster.
