Inhabitabilidad Temporal

That's all I have. My dict gives 'condemnation', but that doesn't seem quite right, spec. not 'temporary condemnation'

loss of use
Explanation:
Just realised that you want both inhabitabilidad and the temporal one. Anyway, found this:

Inhabitabilidad temporal: En caso de ocurrencia de un siniestro que inhabilite temporalmente la vivienda asegurada quedarán cubiertos, dependiendo de las Compañías de seguros, los siguientes gastos:
o Gastos de vigilancia de la vivienda
o Gastos de estancia en un hotel
o Gastos de alquiler de una vivienda similar a la siniestrada.
o Gastos de traslado y depósito del mobiliario de su propiedad.

which seems to tie in with this:

LOSS OF USE
Part of a standard homeowners policy that covers financial losses (up to a certain limit) you suffer when your home is damaged and temporarily unfit to live in. These losses generally refer to living expenses (e.g., hotel, dining, telephone) that you must incur in order to maintain your usual standard of living until you move back into your house.

LOSS OF USE A provision in homeowners and renters insurance policies that reimburses policyholders for any extra living expenses due to having to live elsewhere while their home is being restored following a disaster
http://www.infarmbureau.com/website/general/InsuranceTermsGl...

Loss of Use -- Loss of Use is the extra expense you incur while staying at a
temporary location if your home becomes uninhabitable. While most policies allow a limited dollar amount for this coverage, our program is not limited in the traditional manner and therefore provides far broader coverage.

So loss of use, IMHO, seems to be for the temporary one. Now, are they different in your context? Or is one just short for the other?

Thanks Nikki. This does indeed seem to be the right one. It would seem to be temporary by definition, and otherwise condemnation, but I have so little context I cannot know what they want.

rendered unihabitable


Explanation:
If this is an insurance, might it not refer to a house or building being rendered uninhabitable? Seco gives an adjective - inhabitable - which means just that. "ha tomado possession de una isla inhabitable en el Atlantico."

Though \"condemnation\" (the noun) might used, I\'d say it would be much more commmon to use \"condemned\" (the past participle, often used as an adjective): \"The condemned building will be demolished at 3:00 p.m.\" :-)
