Lettuce Stay properties are only available for 30 day+ rentals. Stays over 30 days are typically considered a long term rental and don't require a special short term licensing, inspections, or fees. If you're a host with a current short term rental license, you may enter your license number within your host profile to alert potential renters of a possible shorter stay. However, always verify with your local laws before accepting a rental injuiry.

In that case, some jurisdictions or home sellers may have a short term license that will allow them to rent for shorter periods of stay than 30 days. However, the Lettuce Stay platform does not support rentals for less than 30 days and any shorter rental agreements will need to be handled outside of the Lettuce Stay marketplace.

It is highly encouraged to try out a home you're interested in putting an offer on through Lettuce Stay. It allows you to try out a neighborhood, a home, and a commute before you make that huge life decision. It's part of the reason home sellers like to use the Lettuce Stay system. So go ahead, stay.

As a renter, checkout any upcoming open houses on the listing page before booking or discuss with the seller a few days and times a week that work best for your schedule to leave the space for a potential showing. On average, a home has it's most showings within the first week of hitting the market with 3 - 10 showings. From there the number drops significantly, so be sure to use the DOM (Days on Market) number as a renter to get a feel for how many showings your stay could have.
