If you’re a property owner trying to decide between short-term rentals (STRs) and long-term leases (LTLs), the better option in 2025 is clear: long-term leases. Here’s why they’re the safer and more reliable choice.
- Steady Income
With a long-term lease, you get consistent monthly rent, no matter the season. STRs depend on travelers, so your income can drop during slow periods.
- Less Work
STRs require constant cleaning, marketing, and dealing with guests. Long-term tenants stay for months or even years, which means fewer turnovers and less hassle.
- Fewer Legal Issues
Cities are cracking down on STRs with strict rules and taxes. Long-term leases face fewer regulations, saving you time and avoiding potential fines.
- Reliable Tenants
Long-term tenants often treat the property better and are more likely to pay rent on time. STR guests may not care as much, leading to more wear and tear.
- Lower Costs
STRs come with extra expenses like cleaning, utilities, and marketing. With a long-term lease, you save on these and can focus on steady profits.
The Bottom Line
Long-term leases offer predictable income, less stress, and fewer risks. If you want a simpler and more stable rental strategy, this is the way to go in 2025.
