Can I rent a porta potty for just one month?

We're starting a full bathroom gut in our Portland house next month. The contractor says we will have no working bathroom for about four weeks. I need a portable toilet for two adults who work from home, so it will get daytime use. Our driveway is gravel, slopes a little, but the rental truck should be able to pull right up to where we'd put the unit. I'm trying to figure out if companies do one-month rentals, or if the minimum rental period is usually longer, like a quarter or a season. I've seen standard units and the nicer deluxe ones with a sink. For a month of daily use, is a standard unit okay, or is the upgrade worth it for the flushing toilet and handwashing?

Yes, a rental company will rent a standard portable toilet for one month. A month is a standard long-term rental period, not a minimum; you are not required to rent for a quarter or a season.

For two adults using it daily for a month, a standard unit will function. The upgrade to a deluxe portable toilet with a flushing toilet and sink is worth it for comfort. A deluxe unit provides a more familiar bathroom experience and built-in handwashing, which reduces trips back into the house. A handwash station is another add-on for a standard unit.

Weekly service visits are the norm for a unit with daily use. The driver will pump the holding tank, add fresh deodorizer, and restock supplies. Tell the rental company about the gravel driveway and slight slope; they will confirm that the location works for the vacuum truck. The monthly rate covers the unit and scheduled service.
