Loss of Use

Loss of use, or additional living expense, pays the extra costs of living elsewhere when a covered loss makes your home temporarily uninhabitable.

How it shows up

It covers things like temporary rent and meals above your normal expenses during the repair period, within your policy's limit and time terms.
