Insurance term
Loss of Use
The part of a homeowners or renters policy that pays for extra living expenses — like a hotel and meals — when a covered loss makes your home temporarily unlivable.
Example
If a fire forces you to stay in a hotel while your home is repaired, loss of use helps cover those costs.
