Fair Rental Value

Coverage that reimburses homeowners for lost rental income when a covered peril makes a rental property uninhabitable.

Detailed Explanation

Part of Loss of Use coverage (Coverage D), this protection applies to portions of your residence that you rent to others. It covers the rent you would have received during the time needed to repair or rebuild the property.

Practical Example

When a kitchen fire damaged James's duplex, making the tenant's unit uninhabitable for three months during repairs, his fair rental value coverage reimbursed him for the $4,500 in rental income he lost during that period.
