All About Displacement Lodging and ALE Insurance

Are you temporarily displaced from your home?

Good news! Most home insurance policies provide coverage for temporary housing while repairs are underway after your home sustains damage from a disastrous weather event or other accident. During this stressful period, Revisn’s fully furnished, luxury short-term apartments in Raleigh, North Carolina can be your home away from home for a minimum of 30 days or more so you can stay worry free and relaxed!

What is ALE (Additional Living Expenses)?

Additional Living Expense (ALE) is a term describing coverage included in a home insurance policy that provides funds in case a policy owner is displaced from their home. When your home floods or suffers damages from natural disasters and other accidents covered by your policy, your ALE insurance will come in handy to move your family to a safe location while repairs are made.

ALE not only covers lodging but also day-to-day living expenses. When you are displaced from your home, the cost of living increases. You may not be able to cook dinner every night, or you might frequent a laundromat to wash clothes. Your ALE may cover expenses like food, storage costs, furniture rental, pet boarding, and income lost related to losing access to your home. ALE is different from other parts of your policy that cover the actual damage to the structure of your home and your belongings, but that should also be covered by your policy. Your insurance agency will assess the typical pricing of your day-to-day expenses and then account for the additional cost of the aforementioned items to decide how much money is required to relocate your family.

While your insurance company will do the heavy lifting to find you and your family temporary housing during repairs, you should do research alongside of them to make sure you can find the best accommodations that sustains your needs. Revisn has compiled a guide to assist you in selecting temporary housing when your home is undergoing restoration.
