If you’ve ever had a tenant skip rent, trash your unit, or refuse to leave…
You know the pain of long-term leases.
More and more landlords across Canada are ditching 12-month leases in favor of short-term and mid-term rentals—and they’re doing it quietly.
Here’s why.
1. Long-Term Leases Lock You In (Even With Bad Tenants)
Once you sign that lease, you’re stuck.
Even if:
❌ They pay late every month
❌ They disrespect your property
❌ They invite extra roommates or turn your place into a mess
Evictions in Ontario and many provinces take months—and cost thousands in legal fees.
With Airbnb-style stays or 30-day rentals, you're in full control.
You set the terms. You decide who stays. And if a guest’s a problem, they’re gone in days—not months.
2. You Can Earn 2x–3x More With Shorter Stays
Example:
🛏 A condo that rents for $2,200/month long-term
💰 Can often generate $4,000–$5,000/month through mid-term stays (travel nurses, relocations, insurance guests)
Even with fewer nights booked, you often come out way ahead.
Especially in areas near:
✅ Hospitals
✅ Construction zones
✅ Colleges
✅ Tourist districts
✅ Corporate hubs
3. The Property Gets Cleaned 5x More Often
With long-term tenants, your place might not be cleaned professionally for years.
With short-term or mid-term stays, it’s cleaned after every guest.
That means:
✅ Less damage
✅ Early detection of issues
✅ Higher resale value
✅ Happier guests = better reviews
4. You Stay Flexible
Want to sell the property in 6 months?
Need to renovate next spring?
With short stays, you’re never locked in.
Many BookedHosts clients love the flexibility—it’s one of the biggest benefits.
