Can I cancel my renters insurance?

I’ve been living alone for about a year, but I’m planning on moving back in with my parents to save some money for grad school. I have renters insurance and I just renewed my policy last month. Am I able to cancel my renters insurance?

Moving home is a great way to save money (and get some free home-cooked meals).
You can cancel your renters insurance at any time, but check your policy to see if there are any cancellation fees.
If you paid your policy in full, you’ll likely be eligible for a refund for any unused coverage. If you’re paying for your policy monthly, you won’t receive a refund as you’ve already used the coverage.
Most companies allow you to cancel online or by phone. Since cancellation processes vary from insurer to insurer, you’ll want to reach out to your company to confirm the process.
If you need
renters insurance
 in the future or want to explore your options for car insurance, try the
Jerry
 app.
Once you download Jerry, answer a handful of questions that will take you roughly 45 seconds to complete and you’ll immediately get car insurance quotes for coverage similar to your current plan. Jerry customers save an average of $887 a year.

Will Metromile file my SR-22?
Money has been a little tight lately, and I let my car insurance policy lapse since I don’t drive a lot. Unfortunately, I got caught driving uninsured—and now I need to get insurance and an SR-22. I think Metromile might be a good choice, but will they file an SR-22?
