Review Before Auto-Renewing

Decision record
Make the checklist produce evidence
A checked box is useful only when it points to a document, decision, or unanswered question. Add the date, policy or quote identifier, and the location of supporting records so the checklist can be reviewed later.
| Record | What to capture | Why it matters |
|---|---|---|
| Document | Policy, lease, receipt, photo, letter | Store a copy outside the rental |
| Decision | Selected limit, deductible, valuation | Record why it fits the household |
| Open question | Who must answer and by when | Do not convert uncertainty into a fact |
Use this record for Renewal Review Checklist, then verify the answer in the current policy or with a licensed insurance professional.
