NYC sees spike in short-term rental offerings

New York City renters are looking
for more flexibility when it
comes to their living situation
as the coronavirus pandemic
continues.
According to a recent report
from StreetEasy, the demand
for more flexibility comes from
renters that are trying to delay a
permanent housing decision as
well as college students leaving
their dorms and medical personnel
that have come to New York
City to help on the front lines.
As a result, the website’s share
of short term or month-to-month
leases has grown by more than
70% since April 1.
StreetEasy also noted that their
share of furnished rentals also
rose by 40% year-over-year as a
result, and that the presence of
short-term and furnished listings
– most of which are in Manhattan
– are expected to continue to rise
in an effort to meet the needs of
temporary and permanent residents
during the pandemic.
One of the reasons why more
short-term rentals are available,
according to the report, is due
to the lack of tourists visiting
the city during this time. Many
owners offering short-term
rental vacation units have been
hit by the drop in tourism and
are beginning to list their units
on a month-to-month or longerterm
lease to stay afloat. Others
have stepped up their efforts by
providing their vacant units for
first responders or health care
personnel.
Despite the uncertainty, Street-
Easy states that now can be a good
time to rent if a New Yorker is
looking for something that isn’t
a traditional one-year lease.
