Which of the following is NOT a required step when cancelling or nonrenewing lead liability insurance coverage?

• A. Contract with an approved lead paint remediation specialist to remove the exposure
• B. Provide notice to the insured
• C. Explain the reason for cancellation
• D. Offer alternative coverage

Answer: (A)

When canceling or nonrenewing lead liability coverage, the insurer’s obligation centers on communication and transition, not on performing remediation. The required steps are to provide the insured with advance notice, explain the reason for cancellation, and offer any available alternative coverage. These practices ensure transparency and help the insured seek replacement protection.

Contracting with an approved lead paint remediation specialist to remove the exposure is not a mandated part of the cancellation process. Remediation is a separate risk-management activity and isn’t something the insurer is typically required to arrange as a condition of cancellation or nonrenewal.
