Travelers who prefer not to search the Furnished Finder map manually or with our AI search tool, Find It With Fern, can submit a Housing Request form. This request notifies property owners in the selected area, and those with available properties matching your criteria can reach out directly.
- 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.
