Reasons Why The Short Term Rentals Chicago's Property Owners Advertise Are So Appealing

By William Bennett


More and more vacationers and tourists are turning to online sites advertising private homes for rent when they are looking for accommodations. There are plenty of reasons for business persons, vacationers, and even residents of the city to prefer this option to a hotel stay. There are just as many good reasons why investors offer the short term rentals Chicago's visitors and residents can book.

Flexibility is one of the prime benefits for owners. It works especially well for property owners who have vacation homes they use themselves several weeks throughout the year. You can earn some money renting the property out, and have it available whenever you want it for yourself. You aren't restricted by a six or twelve month lease. If you like to remodel or redecorate periodically, you don't want to deal with renters in the house while that's going on. You can be flexible about the rent you charge.

Fees can be easily adjusted up or down according to the circumstances. When you have a house you are renting on a daily or weekly basis, you can always increase the rent when the demand is high. This is usually during peak summer months in certain regions of the country and peak months in the winter for others. When the city is crowded with tourists attending a big sporting event or a major convention, you can increase your rates. When snow is covering the lake, and tourism is slow, you can reduce them.

Property damage isn't as prevalent with short term renters. People who are using a house for a few days or weeks are less likely to damage the property than those that live in a leased house for a year or more. It's not unusual to find that significant repairs are needed once a long term tenant has left the premises.

There are benefits to renters when it comes to these properties. Not everyone needs or wants to rent a property for a full year. There are people who are in town on business and those who are visiting to take in the sights. Sometimes Chicago homeowners have to find temporary lodging when their own homes are being remodeled or in the case of fire or flood damage.

People who are renting temporarily do not have households full of furniture. Most of them are prepared to pay for the privilege of having a fully furnished home. These people tend to treat the furnishings respectfully.

Having a kitchen that's fully stocked means renters can save money by cooking instead of eating out at pricey restaurants all the time. Many of these residences include washers and dryers so renters can do laundry. This saves on dry cleaning bills and allows guests to wash and dry towels and sheets and leave the property the way they found it.

Many of these rental properties rival fine hotels. Private residences can compete with hotel accommodations with top of the line amenities and furnishings. A lot of these homes have patios, balconies, pools, and fireplaces. They are just as affordable, and in many cases more affordable, than hotels.
