12 months is the standard long term lease in Barbados, usually renewable. Fixed terms of 6 months to 3 years are also common, and we list mid-term rentals of 3β6 months for winter stays and relocations. On month-to-month arrangements, 1 month's written notice is the norm.
Can I rent a pet-friendly property in Barbados?
