In wake of the deadly wildfires impacting Southern California, State Farm is pausing non-renewals for homeowners, rental dwelling and residential community association policies in Los Angeles County.

The decision, effective as of Jan. 7, 2024, comes after the state’s largest insurance company announced in March 2024 that it would withdraw coverage of 72,000 home and apartment policies — citing inflation, regulatory costs and rising catastrophe risk for the move.
