Licences and the 28-day rule
The length of stay decides which rules apply. Guides on Hong Kong short-term rentals say that rentals under 28 days need a specific licence to operate legally, and that premises running as a hotel, guesthouse or holiday flat need a licence unless an exemption applies. Many short-term listings sit in a legal grey area, so ask the owner or agent which licence the property holds before you pay a deposit.
Serviced apartments and monthly plans
Serviced apartments usually offer leasing plans from three months to half a year, so a monthly price is often the sensible unit for a longer stay. Sellers say prices vary with location, flat size, quality and the amenities included, so the gap between HK$2,200 a day and HK$60,000 a month is not a like-for-like comparison. Compare the total for your exact number of nights.
Winter and summer in Hong Kong
Winter runs from December to February and summer from June to August, and November is the start of the cooler months. The listings describe the typical guest as a local family waiting for home renovation work or someone on a work placement, so a summer stay is worth booking early. For summer, ask whether the flat has air conditioning and whether it is included in the price.
What to write in the request
Give the dates or the number of nights, the number of guests and the district you want: Central, Kowloon, Sha Tin, Tsuen Wan or Tuen Mun. Say whether you want a serviced apartment, a flat or a room, and whether you need a licensed guesthouse. Local listings quote floor area and rent per square foot, so give the size you need in sq ft and add the floor if it matters to you.
