Alternative accommodation and loss of rent are available if your home is not fit to live in because of an event covered under your policy, or following a compulsory evacuation of your home by a local authority or emergency services. This part of the policy covers reasonable temporary accommodation costs for you, your family and your pets while a supplier repairs your home. It may also cover any ground rent you still have to pay and rent you would have received under a contract if your home were let (including short-term letting). Please check your policy for the full terms and conditions of what is and isn't covered.
