Coverage D - Loss of Use

Property

Definition

Also known as Additional Living Expenses (ALE), this coverage pays for increased costs of living if your home becomes uninhabitable due to a covered loss. It covers expenses such as hotel bills, restaurant meals, temporary rental housing, storage fees, and other costs that exceed your normal living expenses while your home is being repaired or rebuilt. Coverage is typically 20-30% of your Coverage A limit and usually has time limits, often 12-24 months.
