You’ve probably heard about co-living popping up as a popular rental option, but how does it really compare to the traditional way of leasing a property? And more importantly, could your home be a good fit for co-living?
Let’s break it down.
How Traditional Rentals Work
With traditional rentals, you lease the whole property to one tenant or household under a single agreement. It’s straightforward, reliable, and usually involves fewer day-to-day hassles.
What Makes Co-Living Different?
What You Need to Know About Co-Living
Most residential properties can become co-living spaces, but it is important to weigh the pros and cons. If you are looking to boost your rental income and don’t mind the extra work involved in managing multiple tenants, co-living could be a great option.
However, if you prefer a simpler setup with just one lease and fewer tenants, traditional renting might suit you better. It is also vital to remember that renting to four or more separate tenants without the proper licence is illegal, so knowing the rules and staying compliant is essential.
If you want to find out whether co-living could work for your property or need guidance on the legal and management side of things, we’re here to help.
