When disaster strikes, severe weather can quickly damage your home, making it unsafe or uninhabitable. In these situations, families are often forced to find temporary housing. Depending on your policy, your homeowners’ insurance may help cover some of these unexpected expenses.<\/p>\n
Many insurance companies in states such as California, Nevada, Oregon, and Arizona offer Additional Living Expenses (ALE) coverage as part of a homeowners insurance policy. ALE coverage can help pay for temporary lodging, including hotel stays or short-term rentals. It may also help cover costs such as storage for personal belongings, pet boarding, increased travel expenses, and higher food costs while you are displaced.<\/p>\n
Most policies include limits on ALE coverage. For example, insurers typically only cover temporary housing that is comparable to your primary residence, such as a rental with a similar number of bedrooms. There are also limits on reimbursement for meals and other daily expenses.<\/p>\n
Coverage details and limits vary by insurance company, and ALE coverage is not always automatically included in every homeowners’ policy. An agent at Avail Insurance Solutions LLC can review your policy with you and explain what coverage you have and what options may be available.<\/p>\n
ALE coverage only applies if your home is deemed uninhabitable due to a covered peril. For example, if your home is damaged by a tornado but your policy excludes tornado-related damage, ALE coverage would not apply. The specific cause of the damage plays a critical role in determining whether your policy will provide assistance.<\/p>\n
