Short Term - Daily Rentals

[Andrea J.]

Hello! I just thought I would check here - has anyone ever rented their house out on a daily basis? I'm trying to find a lease agreement for a short-term/daily rental in the state of Texas. The shortest lease agreement I've come across is weekly. Any thoughts or suggestions?

Leases create a landlord tenant relationships, granting certain rights and responsibilities to both parties (depending on the state and cities they're in) and in Short Term rentals that's not what you want at all.  This will vary from one locale to the next so check maybe with a property manager where you are, but short term rentals work more like a BnB or hotels: if you have someone who won't leave you can kick them out easier than a tenant that you'd have to go through the eviction process with.  So, I'm not sure you actually want a lease?  Maybe set up an account with airBNB and go that route.
