Here are some best practices for successfully securing and hosting your first monthly tenant on Furnished Finder. From setting competitive pricing and responding quickly to leads, to using landlord tools and preparing your property, each step supports a positive rental experience. A smooth check-in and thoughtful tenant welcome can help ensure long-term success in the monthly rental market.
Keep Your Pricing Competitive
When determining your rate, consider your square footage, location, and included utilities and amenities. Monthly rentals generally charge 1.5–2 times more than long-term, unfurnished leases.
Respond Quickly to Tenant Leads
Be sure to keep your notifications on to respond quickly to tenant leads and messages.
Utilize Furnished Finder's Landlord Tools
You can use all of Furnished Finder’s Landlord Tools such as tenant screening, leases & legal docs, property insurance and more by clicking “Landlord Tools” within your Landlord Dashboard. These tools will help you succeed in the monthly rental industry and make tenant experiences easier.
Prepping Your Property
Ensure your rental is clean, fully furnished, and stocked with linens and towels, cookware and utensils, toiletries, and cleaning supplies. Provide a starter amount for essentials like soap, detergent, paper towels, and trash bags to help your tenants get started.
Welcome Your Tenant
A smooth check-in process and warm introduction set the tone for a great rental experience. Be sure to provide your tenant with Wi-Fi information, parking details, and appliance instructions.
