Loss of use insurance claims for vacation rentals -- any luck?

[Villy Ellinger]

Has anyone filed loss of use claims through your insurance for vacation rentals impacted by the Covid-19 situation? Has anyone had any luck so far? I filed on two of my larger beach-front units. The governor of FL suspended vacation rentals and the beach (the biggest draw here) is closed. Add on the travel restrictions and that is definitely loss of use in my opinion. The insurance company said their are currently collecting info and have not decided yet how to proceed. I'm guessing they will have to pay out something at least in some cases, otherwise they will risk huge PR nightmare and people cancelling policies, etc. Anyone know anything or have experience with these claims?
