Can you cancel renters insurance?

I’m planning on moving from an apartment I rent to a house I’ll be owning. I’d like to move within the next three months, but my renters insurance ends in about six months. Can I cancel my renters insurance early?

Going from renting to owning a home is exciting; congratulations! The good news is that you can cancel your renters insurance at any time, even if it’s before your policy’s end-of date.
The possible bad news is that some companies charge a small cancellation fee that you would have to pay if you’re canceling your policy early. You’ll also still have to pay any owed premiums.
Every insurer is different, though, so be sure to look through your particular policy to see whether or not you’ll be charged a cancellation fee.
Once your renters insurance is canceled, your next step should be shopping around for
home insurance
