What does short-term flat rental involve?

Who uses flats for rent?

Rental flats in large cities and mountain resorts are growing ever more popular, especially among young people and families. They are a great alternative to expensive rooms, apartments, hotels or houses. Residential premises of this type always have a kitchen or kitchenette, a convenience that is often missing in apartments and hotel rooms. A flat is a separate unit that allows privacy and freedom and provides security. Adverts for short-term lets of multi-room flats in Warsaw, Kraków and Katowice are viewed very often. Tourists and guests most often book premises for a week or two. The whole space is at the client's disposal.

We tend to prefer flats in the city centre or close to bus stops or metro stations. Such properties are rented short-term not only by tourists but also by people on secondment, business trips or quick visits to relatives.

Is short-term flat rental worthwhile?

Renting for a short time is a good solution for people who, in the season from September to June, let residential premises to students. The flat then does not stand empty and even brings in a profit. In other situations we can profit from a short-term let only when occupancy is high and prices are set appropriately. We cannot allow a situation in which we pay for premises that stay unlet for a long time. Remember that bills for water, gas and heating are the owner's problem.
