Renting for a month
A monthly rental works under different rules from a holiday let. Some cities stop charging tourist tax after a set number of nights. In others a long stay turns into a residential lease with its own law, and a visitor from outside the EU counts the days against the Schengen limit.
Each guide covers the neighbourhoods that suit a month, what to check before you pay, the registration and tax rules from the official sources, and what the booking platforms call a monthly stay.

Melbourne, Australia
Renting an apartment in Melbourne for a month: levy, rules and areas
Victoria draws its lines at 28 nights: the short stay levy and the apartment-building rules cover stays of less than 28 consecutive days, and Airbnb's monthly stays start at 28 nights. A holiday let of any length is a service under a contract, not a tenancy.

Sydney, Australia
Renting an apartment in Sydney for a month: rules, areas and parking
A month in a Sydney holiday rental is a short-term rental arrangement under New South Wales law, not a tenancy, as long as the flat is not the guest's main home. That shapes the deposit, the paperwork and the questions to ask the host.

Brisbane, Australia
Renting an apartment in Brisbane for a month: rules, areas and parking
Queensland's tenancy act does not cover a let for holiday purposes, and it takes any right to occupy for 6 weeks or longer not to be a holiday unless the contrary is proved. A month sits below that line; the paperwork and the parking are what need planning.

Perth, Australia
Renting an apartment in Perth for a month: rules, areas and parking
A month in a Perth holiday rental is a registered short-term rental under Western Australian law and sits outside the tenancy act when it is a genuine holiday. The practical questions are the host's approvals, the entry limit and where the car goes.

Hobart, Australia
Renting an apartment in Hobart for a month: rules, areas and parking
Tasmania's tenancy act stays out of holidays of up to 3 months and of homes ordinarily used for holidays, so a month in a Hobart holiday let is a holiday booking. The permit number on the listing and a place for the car are the practical checks.

Christchurch, New Zealand
Renting a place in Christchurch for a month: areas, rules and entry
The council's short-stay rules for homes in residential zones cover individual bookings of less than 28 days, so for a month the zone of the home matters as much as the price. GST and the length of the visit settle the rest.

Auckland, New Zealand
Renting a place in Auckland for a month: areas, rules and entry
A month in an Auckland holiday let sits outside the Residential Tenancies Act, and no visitor levy applies. The questions that decide a month are GST, where the car sleeps and how long the visit may last.

Queenstown, New Zealand
Renting a place in Queenstown for a month: areas, rules and entry
A month in a Queenstown holiday home is a holiday booking, not a tenancy: the Residential Tenancies Act does not cover holiday lets, and the council counts guests as tenants only from 90 days. The limits that matter are the council's cap on let nights, GST and the length of the visit.

Renting an apartment in Mexico City for a month: areas, taxes and entry rules
A month in a flat in Mexico City pays the same lodging tax as a single night, 5% of the total plus IVA, since no exemption for long stays was found in the tax articles. A month changes the paperwork: the days on the entry stamp, the host's folio and, for a lease, the Civil Code.
