Solutions · Mid-term rentals
One to twelve months is its own business.
Longer than a holiday let, shorter than a lease, furnished, and with a handover between every tenant. It is not hospitality and it is not letting, which is why the software market keeps missing it.
A year, at a glance
illustrative data
- Confirmed
- Awaiting contract
- Enquiry
Thirty-odd tenancies a year across twelve units. Each one worth thousands, each one with a contract, a deposit, a handover and a clean. That is the shape of the work, and it is why a tool that charges a percentage of every booking and cannot produce a lease is the wrong shape.
A week
What the software is actually for.
Monday
A relocation agent asks about three units for a March start
Enquiries arrive as rows, with dates and a guest attached, not as an email you re-key into a spreadsheet. Availability for March is on screen while you are still reading.
Tuesday
One of them says yes, on slightly different terms
The enquiry converts to a tenancy. The lease is drafted from your own template with the agreed rent and dates already in it, and goes out when you press Send. Not before.
Wednesday
A tenant leaving in April asks to extend to June
The bar moves. The cleaning booked for April goes with it, the unit stops showing as available on your website, and nobody has to remember to tell anyone.
Thursday
A cleaner is off sick
Reassign the two handovers on the ops board. Both cleaners see the change on their phones; the times, the addresses and the access notes travel with the task.
Friday
A deposit from last year is disputed
Open the tenancy, open the agreement, read who signed it, when, from where, and that the document has not changed since. That is the whole conversation.
Who this fits
Furnished, by the month, with a handover.
- Serviced and corporate apartments
- Expat and relocation housing
- Furnished lets to people arriving for work or study
- Aparthotels doing monthly stays alongside nightly ones
- Co-living operators with rolling tenancies
Who it does not
Say it before you find out.
- High-turnover short lets, where most of your nights come from Airbnb or Booking.com
- Unfurnished long lets on multi-year contracts with no operations
- Hotels, hostels, anything with a front desk and nightly rates
- Portfolios where the units are not yours to publish or price
If you are in the second list, The Quarters will make your life worse and we’d rather say so now.

Thirty minutes, your units, your contracts. If it is not a fit we’ll say so. We’d rather lose the trial than the reputation.
