Residential leasing

From a Nightly Rental to a Residential Lease

You already own the house. The nightly calendar is guests, a rate, furniture, and a clean between stays. A residential lease is one household and a term. If you want the second job, I can lease out your house.

What changes

  • Who stays. One tenant household, on a lease, instead of a new guest every few nights.
  • Who does the work. I run the listing, the showings, and the application. That list is what leasing out a house includes.
  • What stays yours. The lease stays in your name, or your company’s name. Repairs stay with you.

The furniture, the supplies, and the clean between guests can come out of the weekly work. Power, water, and lawn care have to be named in the lease, so you know which bills moved to the tenant and which stayed with you.

The house you already have

This page is for an owner. If you are still shopping, the choice before a purchase is a lease and a nightly calendar are two different jobs. A nightly stay can also owe hotel tax a lease does not. Those notes are about buying. They are not the offer to lease out a house you have.

Tell me the address and whether anyone is booked in it now. Text or call (346) 683-4100.
