Before You Receive Your First Inquiry
Before travelers start reaching out, take a few minutes to make sure your listing is ready. We recommend that you:
- Review your listing to make sure your photos, description, amenities, and pricing are accurate. You can update your listing anytime from your Dashboard.
- Keep your calendar up-to-date so travelers only see dates you're available.
- Turn on notifications so you don't miss new booking inquiries or messages.
- Familiarize yourself with your Furnished Finder Dashboard, where you can manage your listing and communicate with travelers.
- You can also arrange rent collection through Baselane.

Step 1: Find a Tenant
Once your listing is live, travelers can contact you directly through Furnished Finder.
Responding promptly to new inquiries can help you connect with more travelers and improve your response metrics. As you evaluate potential tenants, you can use Tenant Screening to review available screening information and make informed rental decisions.
Step 2: Sign Your Lease
After you've selected a tenant, finalize your rental agreement before move-in.
Legal Docs & Leases helps you create state-specific lease documents and collect electronic signatures, so everything is completed before the stay begins.
Step 3: Prepare for Move-In
Before your tenant arrives, make sure everything is ready for move-in.
Depending on your needs, you may want to protect your property with a Damage Protection Plan, review your insurance coverage, finalize your house rules, and arrange rent collection through Baselane.
Step 4: During the Tenant's Stay
While your tenant is staying in your property, continue managing your rental through your Furnished Finder dashboard.
Keep communication open and update your calendar if plans change. If your tenant extends their stay, you may also need to update your lease or extend your Damage Protection Plan.
Continue Growing Your Rental
Managing a successful rental is an ongoing process. As you gain experience, keep your listing updated, explore Market Insights to understand traveler demand in your area, use the Listing Performance Panel to see how your listing is doing, and learn ways to improve your Response Rate. If you list on multiple platforms, you can also link your calendars to help keep your availability up to date.
