How Long Do People Stay in Corporate Housing?
One of the most common questions we hear is:
“How long do people actually stay in corporate housing?”
The short answer?
Most stays range from 30 days to 6 months — but it can vary depending on the situation.
Corporate housing is designed for flexibility, which makes it ideal for professionals who need temporary housing without committing to a long-term lease or living out of a hotel.
The Typical Corporate Housing Stay
Here’s what we commonly see:
30–90 Days
Ideal for short-term work assignments, travel nurses, interns, or project-based professionals.
3–6 Months
Common for corporate relocations, construction crews, healthcare contracts, and extended training programs.
6+ Months
Sometimes used for longer projects, delayed home purchases, or transitional relocation periods.
Unlike traditional apartments that often require 12-month leases, corporate housing provides the flexibility professionals actually need.

What Determines Length of Stay?
Several factors impact how long someone stays in corporate housing:
1. Job Assignment Length
Travel nurses, construction teams, and project managers typically align housing with contract timelines.
2. Relocation Timelines
Employees relocating for work may stay in corporate housing while searching for a permanent home.
3. Budget & Company Policy
Some companies approve housing for 30 days initially, then extend as needed.
4. Flexibility Needs
Many professionals choose corporate housing specifically because they don’t know exactly how long they’ll need it.
That flexibility is what makes corporate housing different from hotels and traditional rentals.
Why 30 Days Is the Minimum
Most corporate housing providers require a 30-day minimum stay. This is because:
It keeps costs lower than hotels
It qualifies as mid-term housing
It provides stability for both the guest and property owner
For anyone staying longer than a few weeks, corporate housing is typically more cost-effective and more comfortable than extended hotel stays.
Is Corporate Housing Month-to-Month?
Yes — and that’s one of the biggest advantages.
Many corporate housing arrangements operate on flexible, renewable terms. If a contract gets extended, housing can often be extended too.
If a project ends early, you're not stuck in a year-long lease.
That flexibility is why corporate housing works so well for:
Travel nurses
Healthcare staffing agencies
Construction crews
Corporate relocation teams
Intern programs
If you're unsure how long housing will be needed, it's worth discussing flexible options upfront.

When Is Corporate Housing the Best Fit?
Corporate housing makes the most sense when:
The stay is longer than 30 days
Furnished housing is required
Flexibility is important
Utilities and Wi-Fi need to be included
You want a home environment — not a hotel room
For many professionals, it’s the middle ground between short-term inconvenience and long-term commitment.
