What are Additional Living Expenses in a homeowner's policy?

Costs for home repairs
Extra charges due to temporary relocation after a loss
Insurance premiums for additional coverage
Environmental cleanup costs

The correct answer is: Extra charges due to temporary relocation after a loss

Additional Living Expenses (ALE) refer to the costs that homeowners incur when they are temporarily unable to live in their home due to damage caused by a covered peril, such as a fire or storm. This typically happens when the property is being repaired or is uninhabitable. ALE is designed to cover the increased costs of living during this period, such as hotel bills, restaurant meals, and other necessary expenses that exceed the policyholder's normal living expenses. Choosing the response that refers to extra charges due to temporary relocation after a loss accurately identifies these costs. These expenses help policyholders maintain a standard of living comparable to what they had before the loss without being financially penalized during the recovery period. In this context, it's important to recognize how these expenses can impact a homeowner's financial situation during a challenging time, which is why ALE is a crucial component of most homeowner's insurance policies.
