Home and fire insurance & additional living expense cover
Have you ever heard stories of people suddenly becoming homeless after a disaster that struck their home? It might have happened due to fire or a hurricane or other perils that damaged the apartment and made it uninhabitable and left entire families on the streets. For all those who own or rent a house, and of course, have a home and fire insurance plan in place, making sure that their policy also includes additional living expenses cover, also called the loss of use coverage, is useful in a situation where your place is uninhabitable. Additional living expense covers not only the cost of your new temporary accommodation like a hotel but also any additional living expenses such as for food, clothes etc, while your house is being fixed. The idea of additional living expense cover is to maintain the standard of living you had before the damage of your property.
