When and how to cancel their home insurance?

For now, home insurance contracts are renewed automatically for most and termination of these latter-is possible only annual renewal date, subject to compliance with the filing of a notice current of 1 to 3 months . Now, with the Hamon law, termination of these last-will be allowed at any time after the first full year, and without financial loss to the insured.



Termination at maturity

The approach to the annual renewal date of your contract allows you to terminate, but in compliance with a condition: you must inform your insurer 2 months before its due date by a termination letter for home insurance sent by registered mail with return receipt. Note that the time may be different for certain risks.

Another case: When the comprehensive home contract maturity date approaches, your insurance company sends you a mail to remind you. He must do so between 3 months and 15 days before the deadline. As of the date of dispatch of the letter, the insured shall have 20 days to cancel the contract in accordance with the law Chatel. If this reminder is sent within 15 days before the termination limit, the insured may cancel at any time.

Customers who do not receive any reminder of their insurer may cancel at any time without notice or penalty. This arrangement facilitates the termination of tacitly renewable contracts.

In addition, the new provisions contained in the Hamon law now allow you to cancel at any time your home insurance, from a first full year and in compliance with a notice deposit with a term given to the agreement ( a generally equal to two months).

Change in circumstances

A change of residence, property status or employment status allows you to cancel your policy, but only if its terms so provide. Once again, you must inform your insurer of your desire to terminate the contract, this time within 3 months after the change, still using a termination letter sent by registered mail with return receipt.

It shall take effect one month after receipt of the notice by the other party. If you move, the insurer shall return the part of the assessment for the period in which the risk is not covered by your residential insurance.

The insurer may also request the termination of the contract if you do not report new risks you submitted during the contract or if you stop paying your premium.


The contract may also be declared void in case of bad faith on your part.
