The Rise of the 3-11 Month Stay: Why Medium-Term Rentals are Winning in 2026

The rental landscape in British Columbia has shifted. Owners are moving away from the 'revolving door' of short-term vacation rentals and looking for something more stable, yet flexible. Enter the Medium-Term Rental (MTR).

At Nicholls Property Management, we have seen a surge in demand for executive-level homes in areas like Tsawwassen and Vancouver (West of Knight). These aren't just 'rentals'; they are temporary homes for professionals relocating for film productions, tech contracts, or families navigating insurance claims.

The Nicholls Difference for MTRs:

1. Targeted Marketing: We don't just post on general boards. We connect with relocation agencies and insurance adjusters to find premium tenants.

2. Concierge Oversight: Because these stays are shorter, they require more frequent 'eyes on the property.' Our quarterly inspection cycle ensures your luxury assets are protected.

3. Legal Compliance: We handle the specific lease agreements required for 30-day-plus stays, ensuring you are 100% compliant with the Residential Tenancy Act while maintaining your flexibility.

If you have a well-appointed property in South Delta or Vancouver, the medium-term market might be your most profitable strategy for 2026.
