OR Rev Stat § 746.687 (2021)
2021 Oregon Revised Statutes|Volume : 18 - Financial Institutions, Insurance|Chapter 746 - Trade Practices|Section 746.687 - Cancellation of homeowner insurance policy.

(1) Except as provided in subsection (6) of this section, an insurer may cancel a homeowner insurance policy before the expiration of the policy only for one or more of the following reasons: (a) Nonpayment of premium; (b) Fraud or material misrepresentation affecting the policy or in the presentation of a claim under the policy; (c) Violation of any of the terms and conditions of the policy; (d) Substantial increase in the risk of loss after insurance coverage has been issued or renewed, including but not limited to an increase in exposure due to rules, legislation or court decision; or (e) Determination by the Director of the Department of Consumer and Business Services that the continuation of a line of insurance or class of business to which the policy belongs will jeopardize an insurer’s solvency or place the insurer in violation of the insurance laws of Oregon or any other state, whether because of a loss or decrease in reinsurance covering the risk or other reason determined by the director. (2) The insurer shall give the policyholder written notice of the cancellation, including the effective date of the cancellation and the reasons for the cancellation. (3) The insurer must mail or deliver a notice of cancellation to the policyholder at the address shown in the policy: (a) At least 10 days prior to the effective date of cancellation, if the cancellation is for the reason described in subsection (1)(a) or (b) of this section. (b) At least 30 days prior to the effective date of cancellation, if the cancellation is for the reason described in subsection (1)(c), (d) or (e) of this section. (4) An insurer shall mail or deliver to a policyholder, at the address shown in the policy, a notice of renewal or nonrenewal of a homeowner insurance policy at least 30 days prior to the expiration of the policy period. This subsection does not apply when the policy is in lapse status under the terms of the policy. (5) Proof of mailing notice of cancellation or nonrenewal to the policyholder at the address shown in the policy is sufficient proof of notice under this section. (6) This section does not apply to a homeowner insurance policy that has been in effect fewer than 60 days at the time the notice of cancellation is mailed or delivered by the insurer unless it is a renewal policy. An insurer may not use the fact that a claim was filed on the policy within the 60-day period as a basis for canceling the policy within the 60-day period, for increasing the premium rate or for altering the terms of the policy during the current policy term. An insurer may, within the 60-day period, use any other information consistent with the insurer’s rating or underwriting program, including but not limited to, conditions or uses of the property discovered by the insurer, as a basis for cancellation or for offering to continue coverage at an increased rate or on different terms. At renewal of the policy, the insurer may treat a claim that occurred within the 60-day period the same as any other claim occurring during the policy period for the purposes of rating, nonrenewing and altering the terms of the policy.
