Yes, monthly stays require fully furnished and well-styled spaces. We can assist with styling packages proven to increase occupancy and boost rental income.
Who pays for cleaning and utilities during monthly rentals?
Guests typically cover their own utility usage if booked through corporate or insurance partners. We include cleaning fees in their agreements and coordinate cleaning between stays.
What happens if a guest damages my property?
We have a strict guest vetting process and require security deposits where necessary. We vet all guests carefully and work with insurance-funded and corporate-backed clients. In the rare case of damage, we assist you through the claims process with full documentation.
