Hotel VS Temporary Housing

  

Hotel or Temporary Housing? It’s a decision you may have to make after something happened to your house and you have to relocate.

In the past 12 months, the COVID-19 pandemic and several natural disasters have dramatically increased the need for relocation services. People have suddenly found themselves in the market for temporary housing to quarantine themselves and protect their loved ones from Covid-19. Many others have needed to find temporary accommodations because unexpected and unprecedented storms damaged their homes. The two options people in these situations have are hotels and temporary housing. Let’s look at the advantages and disadvantages of the two options. 

Hotel:

If something unfortunate happens, and you need to leave your home, your insurance company may quickly place you and your family into a hotel. In a hotel, you can expect standard hospitality services, security, and environment. People appreciate hotel life’s predictable nature and like the extra entertainment and recreational opportunities they might have.

Temporary Housing:

While hotels do have certain advantages, there is still a huge demand for short-term residential housing. There are several reasons for this. In recent years, the temporary housing industry has developed and become very sophisticated. Reputable short-term housing suppliers can now offer residential choices that rival hotels in their level of luxury and amenities. Professional temporary housing suppliers regularly equip their homes with the latest appliances and security systems. They hire professional cleaning teams to make sure the house is always immaculate and welcoming for arriving guests.    https://unsplash.com/photos/Wr3comVZJxU?utm_source=unsplash&utm_medium=referral&utm_content=creditShareLink

Temporary accommodations are also typically more family and pet-friendly compared with hotels. A single-family house provides enough space for you and your family to enjoy your time together. It also provides enough room for family members to have time away from one another when they want it.  Most hotels have restrictions on pets, and your furry family members may not be able to stay with you. 

In a hotel, you live close to others, and privacy is difficult. In a house, you can maintain a distance between your family and the neighbors. This advantage is especially desirable during the present COVID-19 pandemic. People hope to stay away from others for safety reasons.

In conclusion, we do think hotels have some advantages, but as the temporary housing industry continues to develop, these advantages may gradually shrink. A good temporary housing supplier can provide customers with professionally managed properties with clean, tasteful living environments just like hotels offer.  They can also give people family and pet-friendly locations that provide them with space and privacy too.

Tour Our Properties During COVID-19

The Month2Month team is passionate about bringing the best viewing experience to our guests no matter what. Innovating new solutions is in our DNA, and in light of the pandemic’s challenges, we are continuing with both in-person and remote tours by appointment and will ensure safe property tour even in the pandemic. 

 

Self-Guided or Virtual Tour:

For those who would like to limit face-to-face interaction, we are also pleased to offer Self-Guided or Virtual Tours. Our sales team is leveraging the latest technology, fast internet connection and powerfully engineered systems to keep our properties open for viewers who wish to do so remotely.

In-Person Tour:

We deeply understand that nothing can replace an in-person viewing experience, especially for the most serious potential renters who need to accommodate their families’ needs. This is why we have chosen to resume in-person tours with the requirement that everyone wears a mask and follows the proper safety measures.

We follow a specific plan to make this happen, which includes:

  • Cleaning and disinfecting all of our properties
  • Providing sanitation products for home viewers to use
  • Limiting viewer groups to a maximum of 3 per day for each property
  • Ensuring staff wear masks and PPE in the workplace

We also have protocols set in place for each home viewer, including:

  • Maintaining six feet of physical distancing between unrelated persons
  • Wearing face masks throughout the tour
  • Using hand sanitizer or washing hands immediately upon entry
  • Avoiding touching surfaces of the shown property, including knobs, faucets, toilets, light switches, garage door remote buttons, and other such items

Please be advised that anyone who is currently afflicted with or exposed to COVID-19 should not enter the property. This includes people who have tested positive within the last 14 days, been in contact with someone afflicted with COVID-19, and anyone presenting with symptoms such as fever, cough, or difficulty breathing not to enter the property. 

We are working hard to keep the market open and allow renters the opportunity to find their desired homes. Our virtual tours are available for each property, and our sales team is getting quite creative too. They now use a range of apps, such as Facetime, WhatsApp, WeChat, or Line, to accommodate our remote guests’ diverse backgrounds and their unique preferences for viewing homes in real-time. We always want to welcome our guests to experience our beautiful inventory but a safe property tour will be our first propriety.
