Finding a short-term apartment or house to rent in Melbourne under 12 month is a nightmare. Most rental agencies in Melbourne will not entertain people who are looking for less than 12 months. It’s because it costs a fair bit to advertise and it takes time to show the property and it might not be worth the agent’s time. We don’t deal with short term Melbourne rentals but this is too good to miss and I know people coming from overseas and interstate who are relocating temporarily to Melbourne end up paying a premium at AirBnbs and serviced apartments.

Short-term rentals in Melbourne are Rare

And then there is also the lack of supply because most property owners put their apartments up on AirBnb. The property owners are given more flexibility on when they can rent out their homes or apartments. They also get a fair bit more than if they rent their places out long term. It might be a pain to get someone to welcome the people in, then clean it, and then wait for the money to come through from AirBnb but the aggravation is still worth it.
