Common Uses

It is commonly used for short-term rental arrangements such as vacation, work, or off-season purposes.

Pros & Cons

PROS CONS
Income is usually higher; sometimes two (2) times more compared to standard leases. Increased turnover, leading to landlords having to find multiple tenants within very short periods of time.
Better flexibility; like tenants, landlords can terminate the contract with minimal notice and for almost any reason. Local and state laws pertaining to short-term leases are often stricter and more regulated than standard lease arrangements.
Marketing options, like AirBnb and VRBO, are often better exposure and creating listings is inexpensive. Due to the high volume of tenants, it’s likely that landlords will have to spend more time cleaning and fixing up their rental units.
