How a Short-Term Rental Makes Moving Easier
Moving is an emotionally, physically and financially draining activity. If you can find ways to make it easier, embrace them. One of the best ways is to find a temporary place to stay during the moving process, such as a short-term furnished apartment.
Short-term rentals, which offer flexible lease terms, make moving a lot less stressful and are the most beneficial option for people in all sorts of situations. Here’s why.
Short-term renting gives you flexibility during the moving process. Let’s say you haven’t yet found a permanent home in the city you’re moving to, but you have to leave your current place because the lease is ending. No problem! Find yourself a temporary apartment, either in your current city or your destination. You can stay for as long as you need to, giving you more time to find a new home.
2. Furniture and appliances are included

By moving into a temporary space first, you can pack light and not have to worry about furniture and appliances – furnished short-term rentals include them! This will make your move not just less financially stressful, but less physically and logistically burdensome as well.
3. It buys you time
If you find yourself needing more time to find a permanent home, staying in a short-term rental buys you that time you desperately need. You can take your time to search and make sure you choose the right home, rather than just any home to avoid having no place to stay at all.
4. Short-term rentals are move-in ready

Short-term rentals that are furnished are truly move-in ready. As soon as you show up, you can start living. All the furniture and appliances you need are there, and in Furnished Quarters apartments, even kitchenware is included. Utilities and WiFi will also be set up and working upon arrival, so you won’t be without internet, gas, electricity or running water when you arrive.
5. You can “try out” a city or neighborhood before committing long-term
Moving to a new location is a big decision, especially if you’re unsure about which neighborhood you’d like to live in. You may even be unsure of the city itself. To avoid committing long-term to a city or neighborhood you don’t love, opt for short-term renting as you test the waters and make a more final decision later.
6. Amenities, utilities and WiFi are included
In addition to utilities and WiFi working upon arrival when you move into your short-term rental, they’re also included in the monthly rate. Many temporary apartments are also found in buildings that offer amenities – lounges, swimming pools, fitness centers, etc. – which are included at little to no extra charge.
7. No need to sign a long-term lease
Signing a lease is usually a commitment for one year or longer. It is a legally binding contract that “locks you in” to your new home and location. Short-term apartment rentals have flexible lease terms, often on a month-to-month basis, requiring just 15-30 days notice before moving out. You won’t be stuck with the place or have to break a long-term lease.
8. No security deposit or broker fees
Many rentals, even if they’re short-term, require broker fees and a security deposit before moving in. If you’re not sure about a place, these extra costs aren’t worth your while. You can avoid them by choosing a short-term rental. In fact, Furnished Quarters never requires broker fees or a security deposit.
When is a temporary lease most beneficial?
While short-term rentals offer incredible benefits, there are particular times and situations in which they are the most rewarding. Here are just a few examples of when they are the most ideal:
When you’ll be somewhere for a few weeks or months: You may want to travel to a new place for business or scouting, or even a vacation. Short-term rentals allow you the convenience of a home with furniture and space, and is cheaper than living in a hotel.
During relocation: In a perfect world, you’ll find a new home the day you sell your current house or end your lease. However, this doesn’t always happen. You may have to wait weeks or even months before settling into your new home – and that’s where short-term rentals come in.
A new job that requires immediate reporting: If you’ve just landed your dream job and you’re required to report to it immediately, short-term renting will allow you to move quickly. It eliminates the need to hastily sign a long-term lease, only to be disappointed since you were in such a hurry.
During uncertain times: When you’re unsure about your employment or overall future in a given location, temporary leasing is the way to go since there’s no contract to tie you down.
