Medium-Term Stays in Local Accommodation: A Smart Opportunity
Medium-term stays (1–6 months) have become an increasingly sought-after solution — both by property owners and tenants — offering stability and flexibility without giving up the local accommodation license (AL).
Advantages for owners and managers
- Stable income without losing the AL license: continue enjoying the tax benefits of AL and retain the option to resume tourism whenever you wish.
- Less wear and tear on the property: tenants start taking better care of the space, reducing maintenance costs.
- Financial stability: avoids extreme seasonality and ensures predictable revenue, especially during quieter periods.
Challenges to consider
- Less flexibility of use: owners cannot access the property during the contract, making visits or interventions difficult.
- Need for proper furnishing: for long stays, investment in furniture and equipment may be necessary (idealista.pt).
- Limited income potential: during periods of active tourism, average rates may be lower than those of short stays (guestready.com).
How to manage a medium-term stay
- Establish clear contracts, including deposit, utility management, and defined duration.
- Always keep the AL license active and comply with the legal requirements of the regime.
- Assess the balance between initial investment (furniture) and potential return.
