Are Short-Term Leases an Option for Tenants?

While some tenants stayed and worked from their existing homes during the pandemic, others changed locations. Why stay stuck in an apartment in a city if you have the option to work from a mountain cabin for a few months and then do the same in Florida? This experience has shown that some jobs can be done from anywhere, and some tenants do not want to commit to a 12-month lease. As a result, there is growing trend in short-term leases as an option for some traditional tenants.

What is a short-term lease?
- Flexible 1-12 months; falls between Airbnb/hotel and a traditional apartment.
