short-term rentals
Brief lease accommodations
Short-term rentals are properties rented for brief periods—typically days or weeks rather than months.
The term arose with platforms like Airbnb and VRBO, distinguishing vacation rentals and temporary lodging from traditional leases.
Cities often regulate short-term rentals differently from hotels or long-term housing: The city banned short-term rentals in residential zones.
