Why hosts earn more on HouseStay
30+ night stays mean zero turnover costs — no cleaning between tenants every few days, no gaps in income, no short-term rental permit hassles.
HouseStay vs Airbnb — the real math
Airbnb charges a combined 15.5% in fees (host + tenant) — plus your listing competes with thousands, short stays require constant re-booking, and cleaning fees add up fast. HouseStay's model is built for stable, passive income.

Built for stable, passive income.

Not for constant hustle. Here's what makes hosting on HouseStay genuinely different.

💸

Just a 5% host fee

We take 5% when a booking confirms — that's it. No listing fees, no subscription, no hidden charges. Keep 95% of every monthly payment.

📅

30+ night stays only

No revolving door of weekend tenants. Every booking is at least 30 nights, which means less wear and tear, zero cleaning between stays, and predictable income.

🛡️

Every tenant is vetted

We run background checks on every tenant before they book. Your home is protected and you always know who's staying.

🏢

Corporate tenants who care

The majority of HouseStay bookings are made by companies relocating employees — professionals who treat your home like their own.

⚖️

Avoid STR regulations

30+ night stays are classified as mid-term rentals, which sidestep the short-term rental permits, taxes, and restrictions that plague Airbnb hosts in most cities.

💰

You set your price

Unlike Other OTA's or Property Manager which dictate pricing, HouseStay lets you set your own monthly rate and keep full control of your listing.

Up and running in minutes.

No phone calls, no approval meetings. Just list and start earning.

1

Create your listing

Add your photos, write a description, set your monthly rate, and specify availability. Takes about 15 minutes.

2

Review booking requests

Receive requests from background-checked tenants. Review their profile, accept or decline — you're always in control.

3

Get paid monthly

Payment is collected upfront and released to you monthly. Direct deposit, on time, every time.

Reliable renters who stay longer.

HouseStay attracts high-quality tenants who treat your home with respect and stay for months, not days.

Location-flexible professionals who stay 1–3 months and work from home.

Families

Families in transition

Renovating, relocating, or between homes. Low-risk, long-stay tenants.

Hosts who made the switch.

Real hosts, real results. Here's what they say after listing on HouseStay.

★★★★★

"I was on Airbnb for 3 years dealing with cleanings every 3 days, difficult tenants, and constant platform changes. Switched to HouseStay and my first tenant stayed 4 months. I made more and did less."

"My renters are strictly corporate professionals. They travel light, keep everything in flawless condition. At that level of care, a 5% commission seems extremely reasonable vs other OTAs."
