If a “Do Not Renew” is placed on the policy, the policy will not renew unless:

• The insured responds to the “Do Not Renew” 45 days prior to the expiration date.
• The insured contacts Michigan Basic to advise that the conditions listed on the “Do Not Renew” have been corrected.
• The insured provides documentation that the repairs have been completed. Michigan Basic will review the documentation and make a decision on whether to remove the “Do Not Renew”. Please note that Michigan Basic may order an inspection to verify that the corrected conditions meet our qualifications.
• If the policy expires and the insured has corrected the conditions and still desires insurance through Michigan Basic, a new application will be required. Please note that expired policies cannot be reinstated.
