“Did you call the insurance carrier and ask to cancel your renters insurance?”

She logged into her account to check and the account doesn't exist anymore which sound like she canceled it?

And she was charged each of the last four months?

I'm starting to think it was longer than 4 months ago because it might have been a 6 month lumpsum payment. She checked with whoever it is that the insurance is through at the beginning of the month and was told she would not be getting charged again. She talked about it before kinda worried it would happen anyway. Sorry I don't have much experience with this as I never rented in a contracted way. I've rented but for an internship at a company guys house with other interns and we venmo'd him.

I think you need to figure out the timing better

Called her. I was a bit way off. She moved out in march 2022. Paid a 1 year lumpsum in January 2022 even though she moved out March 2022(things changed) and was told it would not be auto charged by the renters insurance company. She called again early this January and was told then it wouldn't charge. She admitted to not actually canceling but was under impression it would kinda end on its own I guess. She also found an email saying her policy was canceled in April 2022 so she thinks she canceled then.

Ahh, so we have the truth.

She can call and cancel and get a pro-rated refund.

She should have called and cancelled in March 2022 and gotten a pro-rated refund

Sorry I edited the reply. You response was fast which is appreciated. Please see the add about email confirming policy cancelation.

If that is the case, it may be worth a complaint to the CA department of insurance to see about a refund for this year and a pro-rated refund for last year

Ok we'll roll with that and see if she missed something or if it's on them. Thank you for all the info!
