Short Term Rentals

I regret that there are times when I really can't help find an apartment. Short term rentals are usually the case, most landlords/management companies DO NOT want to do a short term rental. Why you ask? I think it's fairly obvious, a landlords thinking must be like this "why should I rent out my place for 4 months when I can get someone to rent it for a year?"

I personally think that is extremely short sighted, since I would like to have my place rented--PERIOD! If I could guarantee myself some income albeit for 4 or 5 or 6 months, why not take it and then worry about it again after the time has passed. I had several calls this past week for short term but wasn't able to find anything. The other thing to consider also, landlords aren't willing to pay the Realtor fee for a short term rental. They will pay if I bring a traditional tenant but short term is a problem which I also understand.

So I say to you out there if you're looking for a short term rental then be prepared for a tough "fight" to find it and if I do find it there will be a Realtor fee. Please understand that it takes up double the amount of time to find a short term rental than it does for a traditional rental.
