In the state of Florida, is it legal for insurance companies to dump homeowner insurance policyholders for no reason? Allstate dumped us this year and we've never had a homeowners insurance claim and also have never sustained damage from any storm. |

Plus, thousands of Florida homeowners now face the possibility of having their policies cancelled altogether, regardless of whether they have ever filed a claim." ------------------------------------------------------- You might want to call and find out what your options are. http://www.fldfs.com/Consumers/Local_Offices/ Office of Insurance Regulation 200 East Gaines Street Tallahassee, FL 32399-0326 (850) 413-3140 ----------------------------------------------------------- |

Of course it's legal. A business can't be forced to do business with those it doesn't see as profitbale or it does see as too high-risk. As long as you were not dumped for in violation of your civil rights, you have no legal recourse. |

If a company does not violate the cancellation laws in your state, they do not have to offer a renewal policy. In catastrophe-prone states like Florida, it is not uncommon for insurance companies to "ration" their exposure. |
