Bi2Rent is an international platform dedicated to the ONLINE RENTAL OF MID-TERM TEMPORARY ACCOMMODATIONS -from 1 month to 1 year of duration- in which any type of property can be offered and found, whatever it is and wherever it is. All this with an instant, easy, 100% online and totally secure reservation system for both parties, because the guest pays the total in advance and the owner does not receive the amount of the stay until the guest arrives at the property and checks that everything is correct. A perfect solution to connect owners and tenants from all over the world, because our international community offers endless opportunities. Available on Web and Apps for iOS & Android.
The MID-TERM RENTAL has many advantages, since it is SUITABLE FOR ALL TYPES OF PROPERTIES, without exception, and is not affected by the rigid restrictions of Tourist Rental or Long-Term Rental of habitual residence. It is the perfect alternative for the owners who want to make their properties profitable without the need for licenses or special requirements and without losing control over availability. Likewise, it is ideal for the guests who, even having their own habitual residence, need accommodation for a certain period of time, such as students, teleworkers, digital nomads, those who are renovating or building their house or, simply, for those who are looking for new life experiences.

Bi2Rent only offers mid-term rentals of more than 1 month and less than 1 year, with 100% online and 100% secure booking.
Its differences and advantages over the other types of rentals are many and particularly important, both for owners and for guests:
We offer exclusively medium-term stays, from 1 to 12 months (30 to 365 nights). A solution suitable for all types of properties, wherever they are and without restrictions. The perfect alternative to vacation rentals and long-term rentals.
Automatic search and geographical location of mid-term accommodations; Intuitive, safe and fully online booking technology, with an instant messaging system between owners and guests. Everything in your hand.
User verification system, secure payment in advance through Stripe, full and instant control of booking conditions, cancelation policies, guest and property evaluations, dispute resolution and 24/7 personalized support.
In Bi2Rent you can rent all types of properties, without exception, anywhere in the world. It is recommended that are furnished and equipped with the necessary appliances to make the property more attractive and facilitate the guests' stay.
When a reservation request is made, we retain the rental cost, our service fee and the guarantee deposit through Stripe's secure payment gateway and the owner receives the money approx. 24 hours after the check-in time -once the guest has verified that the property meets the listing features-, via PayPal or another selected payment method. The deposit to cover damages must be refunded by the owner, totally or partially -as appropriate-, within a maximum period of 1 week after departure. If the reservation is canceled before the stay begins, the Bi2Rent service fee and the deposit will always be refunded but the cost of the accommodation will be refunded based on the cancellation policy selected by the owner. Registering with Bi2Rent or downloading our application is completely free. We only apply a fixed rate of 5% per reservation to each user, one of the lowest on the market.
The selection in the calendar is made by nights (minimum 30) so that there is no obligation to rent for full months and the guest can book a stay of, for example, 38 or 47 days, without having to book 2 months. That is why the price is shown by months and nights. The Base Price is the one that is applied by default, except when other special prices are established in the calendar for specific days or periods.
Guarantee Deposit is an amount that the owner establish to cover the damages that the guests may cause in the home and that will be refunded by the Owner, totally or partially -as appropriate- by the method of payment designated by the guest during the week following the end of the stay and once the owner has checked that there has been no property damage, or, if there has been, having made a specific and verifiable evaluation and quantification of them. It will always be fully and automatically refunded if the guest or owner cancels before the stay begins. After the beginning of a stay, Bi2Rent cannot retain the deposits (bonds) since in certain cities the owners have the legal obligation to consign them in an official Administration. Therefore, once the deposit has been paid to the owner, he is responsible for returning it to the tenant.
In principle, and unless your local regulation requires it, you do not need any special license or prerequisite for mid-term rental, since rentals of duration greater than 1 month are not subject to the same restrictions as vacation rentals and Bi2Rent is NOT a channel of tourist rental offer. The only condition is that the guest has his own habitual residence and that the rented property will be his accommodation for a specified period of time and for a specific reason.
The owners can decide the availability in their calendar, check reviews, set the house rules, the cancellation policies, choose special prices for certain dates and set a guarantee deposit (bond).
With Bi2Rent the owner chooses the minimum and maximum duration that the stays can have and establishes the available periods in the calendar, however the stays can never be less than 1 month (30 nights) or more than 1 year (365 nights). Our platform only offers mid-term rentals because, in many places, rentals of less than a month are considered vacation rentals, subject to strict tourist regulations and rigid restrictions and requirements -that DO NOT affect mid-term rentals-, and stays of more than 1 year are considered habitual residence.
If the guest cancels a reservation, s/he will receive the corresponding refund in accordance with the conditions and circumstances established in the cancellation policy selected by owner: -FLEXIBLE: Full refund if the guest cancels until the day before check in. Otherwise, the first week is non-refundable. -MODERATE: Full refund cancelling until 2 weeks before check in or within the following 2 days after booking confirmation. Otherwise, only 50% will be refunded. -STRICT: Full refund cancelling until 1 month before check in or within the following day after booking confirmation. Otherwise, no refund. If the owner cancels or rejects a reservation, the amount paid by the guest will be fully and automatically reimbursed. Dates canceled by the owner after confirming a reservation, either explicitly or implicitly (with instant booking), will be automatically and irreversibly blocked on the property calendar and this cancellation may negatively affect the position of the property in the search results. There is no possibility of canceling a stay once it has started.
