Looking for rental accommodation in Biloxi, MS while your flood or fire-damaged home is being restored? First determine your additional living expenses (ALE) coverage. Depending on the type of insurance policy you have, ALE can help meet all or part of your temporary displacement expenses. Here is a quick overview to help you understand the basics of how ALE works.
What is ALE?
If your home is damaged by a natural disaster, water or a fire, you may need temporary accommodations while the repairs are being carried out. Most home owners or renter’s insurance policies have additional living expenses coverage which pays for the “extra costs” you incur during this time. Also known as Loss of Use (LOU) coverage, this can help meet the expenses of your Biloxi extended stay unit or any other type of rental accommodation.
Typical ALE coverage may include:
- Cost of temporary accommodations (which are similar to your property) such as a hotel, extended stay or rental apartment
- Additional food expenses, like eating out if your temporary residence does not have a kitchen and cooking facilities
- Storage and relocation costs as determined by your policy—for belongings that must be removed from your home and boarding for your pets
It is important to understand that ALE only pays for expenses that you would not have incurred if the disaster or damage had not occurred. Contact your insurance agent to find out what type of coverage you have and file all your receipts as proof of your expenses. This will help process your claims faster.
