why do apartment owners not like short-term leases?
I would like to be able to stay somewhere for weeks at a time and not commit to many months. i don’t know what is happening with my work. they could pick me up after september 29th or they could end me on that day. it’s a temp-to-hire position.
help me get into the psychology of apartment owners who are leasing a room so that i can pitch to them the idea of letting me stay there on a short-term lease.
yeah but i’m giving them money too. if it’s me or no one the place will remain empty

Becuase it costs money to clean up an apartment, create a new lease, ddo walk-throughs, etc. between renters. Would you rather have someone guaranteeing to pay you for 12 months or six?

They normally don’t want to got through the hassle so often, and may check background. If you are going to be weeks at a time you will have to go for a hotel that do weekly or month to month or rooms (craiglist) month to month.

What you want is a short term lease or a motel. Apartment owners are in business to rent their property and each time a tenant moves they incur additional expenses which takes away their profitability.
Also State Law in some states like Florida say that any rental of six months or less is subject to a hotel tax which is an additional 10% or more. You can rent a short term rental which usually comes furnished and is often referred to as an executive rental.
Executive rentals include everything from electric to maid service and are priced accordingly. I doubt if you are in the condition to take that route. So in answer to your question it is a practical business decision on the part of apartment owners.

A tenant with a lease basically guarantees the landlord money. When units are constantly being moved in and out of, the landlord loses money.
Let’s say you lived in apartment #1 and you don’t commit yourself to a lease, you pack up and leave. Your landlord is now left with a vacant unit, if he/she doesn’t have someone taking over that unit immediately once you vacate, they are losing rent money.
