When you think of renting out your property, your first thought is probably offering a traditional 12-month lease. Or you may be thinking of hosting a short-term rental, popularized by platforms like Vrbo and Airbnb. But there is a third option you should consider: a mid-term rental. In this article, I\u2019ll break down mid-term rentals \u2014 what they are, who they are for, elements of a mid-term lease, and the advantages and disadvantages.<\/p>\n

What is a mid-term rental?<\/h2>\n

If you\u2019ve never heard of mid-term rentals, also known as medium-term rentals, you\u2019re not alone. Most landlords have either operated short- or long-term rentals in the past. Mid-term rentals are defined as lease agreements lasting more than one month and less than one year. This differs from other rentals, where short-term rentals typically last for less than a month and long-term rentals last for a year or more.<\/p>\n
