After a house fire, finding a safe and comfortable place to stay is often one of the first priorities. Depending on the extent of the damage, you may need temporary housing for several weeks, a few months or longer while your home is repaired or rebuilt.
For longer stays, an extended stay hotel can provide a furnished place to live without committing to a traditional apartment lease. InTown Suites offers furnished suites with kitchens, flexible weekly and monthly stays, free Wi-Fi, free parking and access to on-site guest laundry facilities.

Where to Stay After a House Fire
If you cannot return home after a fire, finding temporary housing that gives you both comfort and flexibility can make the transition easier.
InTown Suites provides furnished suites for guests who need somewhere to stay while their home is repaired or rebuilt. With weekly and monthly stay options, you can settle into one place without committing to a traditional apartment lease or fixed long-term arrangement.
If repairs take longer than expected, you also have the flexibility to renew your stay online, subject to availability.
Why Choose an Extended Stay Hotel After a Fire?
Finding temporary housing after a fire can be complicated, particularly when you do not know exactly how long repairs will take.
Subletting or renting an apartment can involve credit checks, deposits, lease agreements and fixed move-in and move-out dates. A traditional hotel can work for a shorter stay but may not provide the space or everyday amenities you need if you are displaced for several weeks or months.
InTown Suites provides another option for longer temporary stays. With 195 locations across 22 states, you can search for temporary housing close to work, school, family or other everyday needs.
Guests can also choose from a range of room types to find an option that works for their stay.
InTown Suites offers:
- Furnished suites with kitchens so you can prepare meals and establish a more familiar daily routine.
- Weekly and monthly stay options when you are unsure how long repairs may take.
- A range of room types to suit different temporary housing needs and budgets.
- Free Wi-Fi and parking for everyday convenience.
- On-site guest laundry facilities when you are staying for several weeks or longer.
- Weekly housekeeping to make longer stays easier.
Flexible Stays While Your Home Is Being Repaired
One of the biggest challenges after a house fire is not knowing exactly when you will be able to return home.
InTown Suites offers weekly and monthly stay options without requiring a traditional long-term apartment lease. If repairs take longer than expected, you can renew your stay online, subject to availability.
This flexibility can help you adjust your accommodation as repairs progress rather than committing to a fixed move-out date before you know when your home will be ready.

Temporary Housing and Insurance After a House Fire
Your homeowners or renters insurance may help cover temporary housing if a covered fire leaves your home uninhabitable.
This is often provided through Loss of Use or Additional Living Expense (ALE) coverage, although coverage, limits and eligibility vary by individual policy.
Depending on your coverage, eligible expenses may include temporary accommodation and certain additional living costs above what you would normally spend while living at home.
Before arranging a longer stay, speak with your insurance provider or adjuster to understand:
- How much temporary accommodation is covered.
- How long your coverage lasts.
- Whether your accommodation needs to be approved in advance.
- Which additional living expenses may qualify for reimbursement.
Be sure to keep receipts for temporary housing, laundry, meals and other eligible expenses so they are available if your insurance provider requests them.
Preparing for a Longer Temporary Stay
Insurance claims and home repairs can take time. If you expect to be away from home for several weeks or months, thinking beyond your immediate accommodation needs can make your temporary stay more manageable.
Before choosing temporary housing:
- Ask your insurance adjuster what accommodation costs are covered and whether pre-approval is required.
- Keep receipts for additional expenses associated with being displaced.
- Ask for an estimated repair timeline, understanding that this may change.
- Look for access to a kitchen, laundry, Wi-Fi and parking if you expect to stay several weeks.
- Consider a location that keeps you close to work, school, family and everyday essentials.
- Choose a stay option that gives you flexibility if your repair timeline changes.
