Homefront: ‘Is it cheaper to rent an Airbnb apartment rather than sign up for a one-year lease?’

Homefront: ‘Is it cheaper to rent an Airbnb apartment rather than sign up for a one-year lease?’

I recently moved to the UAE for a one-year work assignment. I have been staying in a hotel for a few days but my employer has asked me to look for an apartment with a one-year lease.

I am not keen on signing up for a traditional one-year apartment lease with a real estate broker. Instead, I have been told that several Airbnb holiday homes are now being offered on long-term residential leases.
