Prefer steady, longer-term tenants? We manage that too.
Alongside short-term holiday lets, RivaStay manages monthly and long-term rentals — ideal for owners who want reliable income with far less turnover.
Why owners choose monthly over short-term
Short-term isn't always the right fit for every property or every owner — monthly rental has real advantages.
Far fewer turnovers
One tenant for weeks or months instead of a new guest every few days — less cleaning, less wear, less coordination.
Predictable, steady income
A fixed monthly rent instead of night-by-night demand swings — easier to plan around, especially in low season.
Lower operating costs
Less frequent cleaning, linen changes and guest communication means a leaner cost base per booking.
Tenant vetting
We screen and reference-check tenants before approving a booking, the same way we vet short-term guests for verification.
Flexible, not permanent
Monthly rental doesn't mean a long lease commitment — you can return to short-term (or block dates for yourself) between tenancies.
Same full-service management
Listing, contracts, deposits, check-in/out, maintenance coordination and monthly statements — all handled, exactly like our short-term service.
Short-term vs. monthly — which fits your property?
Many owners use both, shifting between the two by season.
Short-term (nightly)
- ✓ Higher revenue ceiling in peak season
- ✓ Full flexibility to block dates for personal use
- ✓ Best for prime beach/town-center locations
Monthly / long-term
- ✓ Steady income, including low season
- ✓ Minimal turnover and cleaning costs
- ✓ Good fit for digital nomads, relocations and snowbird winters

Frequently asked questions
Can I switch between short-term and monthly?
Yes — many owners run short-term in peak summer months and switch to monthly for the rest of the year. We help plan the calendar around whichever mix earns you the most.
How are tenants screened?
We verify ID, request references, and confirm ability to pay before approving any monthly booking.
What if a tenant doesn't pay or causes damage?
We collect a deposit up front and handle any disputes directly, keeping you informed at every step.
Is pricing different from short-term management?
Monthly management is typically a lower percentage fee than nightly, reflecting the reduced day-to-day workload. We'll quote your exact rate at the free valuation.
