What Is a Long-Term Rental?
A Long-Term Rental (LTR) is a traditional 12+ month lease on a premium residential property. Unlike vacation rentals, LTR leases offer fixed monthly rent, lease agreements, and the stability of a long-term home — but with the premium finishes and professional management of an Oakli Stays property.
Whether you're an individual relocating to a new city, a family settling into Denton or the DFW area, or a corporate partner housing employees on multi-year assignments, our LTR portfolio offers carefully curated, professionally managed homes with transparent lease terms.

How LTR Leasing Works
STEP 01
Browse & Inquire
Filter for 'Annual Lease (LTR)' listings. Review monthly rates, security deposit requirements, lease term lengths, and included utilities.
STEP 02
Application & Screening
Submit a rental application (application fee applies). We run a background and credit check — typical turnaround is 1–2 business days.
STEP 03
Sign the Lease
Upon approval, a formal lease agreement is sent for your signature. Lease terms are clearly defined — start date, duration, monthly rent, renewal options.
STEP 04
Pay Security Deposit & First Month
Before move-in, a security deposit (typically 1 month's rent) plus first month's rent are collected. Subsequent months are billed on the same date each month.
STEP 05
Move In
On your move-in date, you'll receive all access codes, welcome materials, and contact details for your property manager.
STEP 06
Ongoing Management
Maintenance requests, inspections, and lease renewals are all handled through the Oakli Stays platform. Your property manager stays responsive throughout your tenancy.
Understanding LTR Pricing & Terms
Monthly Rent
A fixed monthly rate for the lease duration. Rates are stable for the lease term and clearly defined in the lease agreement.
Security Deposit
Typically 1–2 months' rent, collected before move-in and held in escrow. Refunded within 30 days of move-out (less any deductions for damages).
Application Fee
A non-refundable fee to cover background and credit screening. Shown on each LTR listing before you apply.
Lease Term
Minimum lease terms vary by property (typically 11–12 months). Some properties offer 24-month options for a discounted rate.
Utilities
Clearly stated on each listing whether water, electricity, internet, or gas are included in the monthly rent.

Can I renew my lease?
Yes — lease renewals are offered at the end of the initial term, subject to availability and updated market rates. We'll notify you 60 days before expiration.
