STR Rule Watch

Mid-term rental (MTR)

A furnished rental for a medium duration — typically 30 nights or more — bridging short-term and traditional long-term leasing.

Once a stay reaches roughly 30 days, many jurisdictions stop treating it as a taxable short-term rental and start applying residential tenancy law, including deposit caps and notice periods. Operators often shift to mid-term rentals to sidestep STR permit rules.
