rates.
The holder of any insurance policy against loss or damage to property by fire or other
casualty, notwithstanding any provision of the policy or contract to the contrary, may surrender
the policy for cancellation at any time. Upon surrender, the company issuing the policy shall
retain or receive such proportion, and not more, of the premium paid or agreed to be paid,
including policy fees in excess of two dollars on any one policy and other sums of money paid or
agreed to be paid in consideration of the insurance policy, as corresponds with the usual short
rates upon term policies as adopted and maintained by the organization which promulgates
rates for fire insurance on property situated in this state for the time the policy remained in force.
