Why daily rentals are growing

Short-trip travellers, exam-season students, and people trialling a neighbourhood all want something cheaper than hotels and more private than guesthouses.

Owners should know

  • Continuous daily rentals may fall under the Hotel Act — check the exemption for ≤8 rooms / ≤30 guests
  • Price daily rates at roughly 1/15 to 1/20 of the monthly rate
  • Prepare linens, basics, and a cleaning routine

For tenants

Booking a few nights before signing a long lease is a smart trial run — you experience the noise, neighbours, and rush-hour commute first-hand.
