Freud insisted plans to cut state support for the rents of the poor and unemployed in the private rented sector will not lead either to significant increases in homelessness, or to a rise in
use of temporary accommodation.
Much has been written about the dreadful
state of temporary accommodation that some homeless households are placed in: broken doors, no hot water, mould, no washing machines, families stuck living together for months and years in a single room, stained and dirty mattresses, dog faeces littered around entrances and rubbish piled in hallways and yards.
Indeed, I published a report a year ago almost to the day that showed that there are 130,000 homeless children living in various
forms of temporary accommodation, which is double the number 10 years ago.
Sometimes policies differ substantially, for example, some insurers will include cover for garages and outbuildings, and others will cover the cost
of temporary accommodation should your home become unsuitable to live in following a claim.
The reasonable time it takes to repair or rebuild your premises, or the time it takes to permanently relocate will determine the period that increased expenses will be covered.They may include the cost
of temporary accommodations and moving costs.
It also covers the cost
of temporary accommodations, and food expenses, while your home is being repaired or rebuilt as a result of fire or smoke damage.
Your personal condo policy includes protection for additional living expenses, which includes the cost
of temporary accommodation.
