Modern life is filled with gaps: Gaps between jobs, between houses, between projects, between life stages and medical treatments – even when the gaps are representative of positive changes, they can still leave you wondering where you’re going to live in the meantime.Corporate housing is the perfect solution for these gaps. Furnished rentals, in sizes from studios to 5-bedroom homes, from downtown locations to neighbourhood settings, are a great way to bridge the gaps in your life.
Here’s how:
Gaps between jobs
These days, it’s not uncommon to take a few weeks or even a few months off between jobs, especially if you’ve chosen a hybrid or digital nomad career. This can be a good opportunity to spend some time in a city you’ve always wanted to explore, and a furnished rental can help you feel part of the community. It’s more cost-effective than a hotel, more reliable than an Airbnb, and more comfortable than couch surfing with friends.
Gaps between homes
In a slower real estate market, you can find yourself with a gap between moving out of your existing home and into your new one. But where do you stay in the meantime, especially if you have kids or pets? Corporate housing can make the transition seamless: Furnished rentals come complete with fully-equipped kitchens, linens, parking, and everything else you’ll need to feel right at home until you can move into your new one.
Gaps between projects
With so many projects, especially enterprise IT, engineering and construction, being project- and location-based, it’s not unusual for people to find themselves temporarily relocated to a specific office or location for a few weeks or months. Corporate housing is a smart way to navigate these projects by allowing you to stay in a home-like environment near to where you’re working, and makes it easy to add a couple of extra weeks at the end of a project for a staycation or extended family visit.
Gaps between life stages
Sometimes life brings big changes, like having a new baby, or undertaking a major renovation project on your home. Corporate housing can help make these changes easier for everyone: Grandma and Grandpa could be a big help with the new baby, for example, but it may not be convenient to have them staying with you for an extended period. Booking a furnished apartment nearby means they can spend plenty of time with the family – but everyone still has their own space at the end of the day.
Corporate housing can also fill the gap between the commencement of a major renovation and move-in day: You and the family can stay in a furnished home base and avoid the chaos and disruption of drywall dust and a plastic-wrapped kitchen.
Medical gaps
Sometimes a loved one needs to stay in the hospital for an extended period, and family members need to be close by. Corporate housing can provide a temporary home base within easy distance of the healthcare facility, meaning that partners and extended family can visit every day without the stress of long drives, the high cost of hospital parking, and trying to live on hospital food and restless nights.
Insurance gaps
A tree falls on your house, your basement floods, a fire on your property renders your home unlivable: Even when the insurance company agrees to pick up the cost, repairs can still take weeks or even months to be completed, and staying in a hotel that long just isn’t realistic. Corporate housing’s furnished homes, which are move-in ready and available almost immediately, can make these unexpected disasters just a little easier.
