Under N.Y. Ins. Law § 3425, how much advance written notice must a carrier give before non-renewing an in-force New York homeowners policy?
AAt least 10 days
At least 45 days but no more than 60 days
CAt least 20 days
DAt least 30 days
Why this is the answer
N.Y. Ins. Law § 3425 governs cancellation, non-renewal, and conditional renewal of covered personal lines policies (auto, homeowners, dwelling fire). For non-renewal, the carrier must mail or deliver written notice at least 45 but not more than 60 days before the expiration date. The notice must state the specific reason for non-renewal. Failure to give timely notice in the required window forces the carrier to renew the policy on the same terms for the next term.
