Loss Of Use

Reimburses the excess cost you incur to temporarily relocate if the place you rent becomes uninhabitable due to a covered loss.


Example: A fire breaks out in the building and your unit is considered unsafe to live in until it’s fumigated.

The additional funds you spend during this period could be reimbursed up to your policy limits.
