What your insurance policy covers for temporary accommodation
Most Australian home and contents policies include a loss-of-use or additional living expenses provision. This pays for furnished temporary accommodation when your home is uninhabitable due to an insured event — fire, flood, storm, water damage, or mould remediation. The provision typically covers the full period of repairs, billed directly to your insurer or loss adjuster.
Sydney Short Term Rentals works with all major insurers and their loss adjusters. We provide itemised rate sheets and direct billing so policyholders never pay out of pocket.
