A Housing Request helps landlords find you based on your travel dates, location, budget, and housing preferences. Instead of contacting properties one by one, you can share what you're looking for so landlords with matching properties can reach out if they have availability.
While a Housing Request can help you connect with landlords, we also recommend browsing available listings and contacting property owners directly to maximize your housing options.
To submit a Housing Request, you'll need a free Furnished Finder Traveler account. If you don't already have one, you'll be prompted to create an account. Once you're signed in, you'll need to verify your information before completing your request.
- Access the Housing Request Form:
From Furnished Finder homepage, click on the "Housing Request" link in the top menu bar.
From your tenant account, click the New Housing Request button under My Requests.
- Enter Basic Information: Provide details about your housing needs, including:
- Traveler Type: Indicate whether you're an individual traveler or an agency.
