Which coverage in the homeowners policy pays for additional living expenses if the home is uninhabitable due to a covered loss?

• A. Coverage A
• B. Coverage B
• C. Coverage C
• D. Coverage D

Answer: (D)

Loss of Use, which is Coverage D, covers the extra costs you incur to maintain your normal living standard when your home can’t be lived in because of a covered loss. This includes things like hotel stays, meals, and other necessary increases in living expenses while repairs are underway. It doesn’t pay for repairing the home itself (that’s Coverage A), doesn’t insure other structures (Coverage B), and doesn’t cover your personal belongings (Coverage C). So, this is the part of the policy that addresses additional living expenses during displacement.
