Fractional Renting (there’s that word again), otherwise know as Weekday renting, is a great alternative for Homeowners who don’t want to be full-time landlords. Renting out a room for part of the week allows the Homeowner to keep the house private at weekends, while benefiting from extra income during the weekdays. This type of renting is now becoming very popular in the U.K. and is also finding it’s way into New York City, Los Angeles, Chicago to name just a few U.S. cities.
There are many potential Lodgers that are attracted to the Fractional Renting option:
- Professionals (Business Parks, Hospitals, Financial Services etc.)
- College Students
- Commercial Travelers (Service Industry, Contract Employees, Sales and Marketing agents)
- Long distance commuters
- Internships
- Seasonal workers
The list goes on.
Beyond Fractional Renting, the Homeowner can also decide just to rent for specific periods during the year. Full-time, Fractional or seasonal renting – the choice is down to the preference and requirements of the Homeowner.
