Vacant residences are completely empty and are rented out as an entire unit. Usually, people interested in this type of rental would expect to live alone or have people who are renting with them.
Rooms are empty rooms in a house, apartment, condo, or townhouse where other people already live. This selection indicates an interest in filling an empty space within a current living arrangement. Sometimes the entire rental is shared—this means the person has his or her own room, but shares the kitchen, living room, bathroom, and other common areas. However, this is not always the case. Tenants may have their own bathrooms or common areas at times.
Short term rentals typically offer leases that are month-to-month or for short time periods such as a 3-month or 6-month lease terms. Short-term rentals are a great option if you only need housing for a few months and can also be an alternative to subletting.
