It is commonly used for short-term rental arrangements such as vacation, work, or off-season purposes.
| PROS | CONS |
| Income is usually higher; sometimes two (2) times more compared to standard leases. | Increased turnover, leading to landlords having to find multiple tenants within very short periods of time. |
| Better flexibility; like tenants, landlords can terminate the contract with minimal notice and for almost any reason. | Local and state laws pertaining to short-term leases are often stricter and more regulated than standard lease arrangements. |
| Marketing options, like AirBnb and VRBO, are often better exposure and creating listings is inexpensive. | Due to the high volume of tenants, it’s likely that landlords will have to spend more time cleaning and fixing up their rental units. |
Below is the minimum time period required to terminate a week-to-week lease.
