3 Short Term Housing Solutions

You've sold your home and bought a new one, how exciting! Then you learn that you have to move out in a week but your new home won't be ready for another three weeks or so. This is a difficult situation. Moving is stressful enough but now you don't know where you're going to live.

There are solutions for this kind of problem. It's not difficult to find temporary housing to keep you safe and warm until your move-in date. There are many ways to go about this, depending on your location and budget. A few of the best are listed below.

Hotels

Extended-stay hotels are a great option if you need a place for days or a couple of weeks. While it might seem like regular hotels would work, you probably don't want to pay $200 a night. Extended-stay hotels have slightly lower rates and are meant for long-term stays. There is often a large variety and you'll get the hotel amenities. However, if you need to stay longer than a couple of weeks, they can get very expensive. Check out the options below for better alternatives for long stays.

Short Term Rentals

If you need a place for a month or two, a short term rental is an even better option. These are simple apartments you can rent for a small amount of time. You’ll be able to find furnished one bedroom apartments as well as two- to three-bedroom furnished apartments. The rent for furnished short term rentals is often determined by your length of stay, so the longer you intend to stay, the higher your payments tend to be. This is what makes short term rentals preferable to booking hotel rooms, the costs of which quickly add up.

Corporate Housing

Corporate housing is quite similar to short-term rentals and is used for relocating 40% of the time. Corporate housing is usually completely furnished and comes with a lot of amenities that can include cookware, towels, sheets, cable, internet, housekeeping, and more. You can put your items in storage and just bring your clothes, allowing you to avoid lugging around all of your belongings. Corporate housing companies often offer everything from furnished one bedroom apartments to furnished condos. Corporate housing also tends to be similar in price to short term apartments.

Whether you need to stay for a few days or a few weeks, there are plenty of temporary housing solutions. For information on corporate housing please contact Taylor Made Furnished Apartments.
