short term lets

A short-term let refers to a property rental that typically lasts up to six months, though it can be as short as just one night. They’re often referred to as holiday lets as they’re commonly used for holiday stays. They offer a more homely feel compared to hotels, usually at a more affordable price.

Short-term lets cater to a variety of individuals including corporate visitors, holidaymakers, and people relocating. Companies often prefer short-term lets to hotels for their employees as it provides a more home-like environment. Individuals between homes or getting to know a new area also find short-term lets to be a convenient option.

The duration of a short-term let can range from one night to six months. The flexibility in duration makes short-term lets a practical choice for a variety of accommodation needs.

Short-term lets differ from long-term lets primarily in terms of rental duration, flexibility, and profitability. Short-term lets tend to be more profitable, offer more flexibility for both the guests and the host, and require more active management like regular cleaning and marketing. On the other hand, long-term lets provide a steadier income, require less active management, and offer less flexibility.

Some benefits of short-term lets include higher profitability, the opportunity to meet people from around the world, and flexibility in rental duration. As a property owner, you have control over when and for how long you want to rent out your space, which isn’t usually the case with long-term lets.

The money is simply reserved a day or two before you arrive and then released after departure on return of the keys and if there is no damage, there is nothing you need to do.
