Help Center/FAQs by Corporate Housing by Owner

Yes — in most cases, corporate housing is significantly more cost-effective than hotels, especially for stays longer than 7–14 days. Corporate housing typically offers:

• Lower nightly rates compared to extended-stay hotels

• All-inclusive pricing (furniture, utilities, Wi-Fi)

• Full kitchens, reducing the need to eat out

• Laundry on-site, avoiding service fees

• More space and privacy at a better value

Because you’re not paying nightly premiums or resort-style markups, the overall cost for a month-long stay is often 30–50% less than a hotel.

Renting out your property as corporate housing means leasing a fully furnished residence to a business, often for employees who travel frequently and stay for weeks or even months. With effective management and minimal local competition, it can be a highly profitable strategy.

Stays of 1-12 months are considered mid-term stays. However, the term mid-term frequently refers to stays of 3-9 months. The property is often furnished, making them an ideal fit for people working or living in an area for more than a few weeks but less than a year.

Tenant screening background checks are an essential part of any rental property evaluation process. A tenant screening background check helps landlords protect their investment by ensuring that the tenant is who they say they are, has the financial means to pay rent, and can be trusted to respect and abide by the terms of the lease. Tenant screening background checks typically involve the collection and review of information about the prospective tenant’s rental history, credit score, criminal history, and employment verification. This information is then used to assess the risk of the tenant being a reliable renter. In addition to the traditional methods of tenant screening, landlords have the option of using specialized tenant screening services, such as those provided by SmartMove. Using a tenant screening service helps landlords to gain access to a wide range of information about the prospective tenant, including credit and criminal history, rental history, and employment verification. Tenant screening background checks are an important part of the rental process and can help landlords select the best tenant for their rental property. It is important for landlords to be aware of any local laws regarding tenant screening, as well as the Fair Credit Reporting Act

Visit our partner SmartMove via Transunion at this link https://www.mysmartmove.com/chbo. This service is setup for landlords and/or renters to perform screening. As a tenant, please consult your landlord prior to paying for the screening.

An executive home is a marketing term for a moderately large and well-appointed house. Such houses were formerly described as mansionettes or bijou residences. The word mansion historically denotes homes with more character or uniqueness than an average executive home.

CHBO gives renters two ways to find the right property.

1) Email or call the propertyowner/property manager directly from the CHBO listing.

2) Submit a General Housing Request in a geographic area that goes to properties in that area who have selected to receive and respond directly to these requests.

CHBO has created the general housing request to streamline the hassle of having to look through each individual availability calendar and make it easy for corporate housing renters to find the right property, in the right location, quickly.

General Housing requests are individual requests from potential renters looking for housing in a specific area. Rather than contact numerous properties one at a time, these requests make it easy for anyone in need of housing to submit a single request and receive direct responses from properties that are available in the requested area.

If you receive a general housing request and your property meets the needs of the potential tenant, you can respond directly to the tenant with your housing options.
