Monthly Furnished Rentals in Los Angeles
Expert Management for 30+ Day Stays Across LA
Monthly furnished rentals in Los Angeles are the largest part of what we do. Roughly half of the homes we manage are month plus homes, and we have specialized in them since 2018 with pricing, leases, and support built for longer stays.
Monthly stays need no short-term permit, sit inside California tenancy law, and attract a guest who settles in. We manage them for homeowners who want steady income, quality tenants, and a licensed brokerage behind every lease.
Open Air Homes is the only Los Angeles based company in AirDNA’s 2026 ranking of the top 100 property managers in the US, ranked #25 nationally with a 4.91 average guest rating. See how the ranking works.
As of September 2026, Open Air Homes manages 45 homes available for stays of a month or longer and more than 100 homes overall.
By The Numbers: 2025 in Review
How We Outperform the Market
Updated every January. We publish the full prior year for our portfolio against the market, month by month, including the weak months. The 2025 figures below will be replaced with 2026 results in January 2027.
Our Los Angeles portfolio booked 70.1% of available nights in 2025, compared to 44% among similar listings within Airbnb. In the most competitive short-term rental market in California, this performance reflects disciplined pricing, review velocity, and consistent operational execution.
Dynamic pricing, pet-friendly positioning, and a focus on longer stays help us extract more value from each calendar while protecting peak-season rates and guest quality.
Our listings averaged 120% more page views than comparable homes during Jan ’25 → Jan ’26, according to data collected through Airbnb.
High-impact photography, A/B-tested headlines, and dynamic pricing tools keep us locked above the fold, reaching travelers before they even start filtering.
Our listings appeared on page one 56.5% of the time in 2025, compared to 26% for similar listings on Airbnb.
This consistent placement reflects pricing discipline, photography quality, and review velocity across our portfolio.
Our listings converted at 0.30% in 2025, compared to 0.16% for similar listings on Airbnb. That gap represents an 88% conversion advantage, up from 60% in 2024.
Higher conversion means more bookings from the same traffic, translating directly into higher occupancy and net revenue.
Our guests stayed an average of 10.9 days in 2025, compared to 5.5 days for similar listings on Airbnb.
This nearly 2x advantage reflects intentional design, pricing strategy, and a belief that longer stays are the future of short-term rentals.
Why Monthly Rentals Are Growing in 2026
More People Are Traveling for Longer Than Ever Before
We see guests from every direction: corporate travelers on assignment, remote workers, families between homes, retirees spending a season, and a growing group of people who simply do not want to buy furniture. They want to walk in and be settled.
Most Airbnb bookings on our monthly homes run one to three months. We now see six and nine month stays too, and many of our monthly homes also take bookings for a year.
When Your Home Is Not Renting Long Term
Priced for Today’s Market, Not the Old One
Many homeowners come to us because their home is not renting as an unfurnished lease at the number they got used to. The market moved and the price did not.
A furnished monthly rental can be the answer, but only when it is priced for today. Price a monthly home competitively and it books for three or four months at a time. Price it high and it books for one, with gaps in between.
We will tell you what your home can actually earn, and whether that gets you to your number, before you sign anything.
Licensed Brokerage With Real Legal Protection
CAR Contracts and California Tenancy Law
In California a stay of 30 days or more is a tenancy, with tenant rights attached. That is not a problem, it is the framework. We are a licensed brokerage (DRE #02164159) and every monthly stay runs on a California Association of Realtors lease.
Many managers use platform contracts for monthly stays, which based on our knowledge do not hold up in court the way CAR forms do. If something goes wrong, the contract matters.
Monthly Rentals for Homeowners Who Use Their Home
Flexibility That Long-Term Leases Cannot Offer
A 12 month lease locks you out. Monthly rentals let you block a month or two for yourself and rent the rest of the year.
Longer stays also mean less wear. Monthly guests treat a home more like their own than weekend guests do.
Comprehensive Monthly Rental Management
From Staging to Tenant Screening to Ongoing Support
Professional staging and photography, PriceLabs pricing, tenant screening, CAR leases, and ongoing communication. Your home is listed on Airbnb, VRBO, Booking.com, Google Travel, plus our direct site, plus Zillow and Redfin for monthly tenants.
Hostaway centralizes bookings, Turno verifies cleanings between stays with photos, and you receive monthly reports on revenue, occupancy, and maintenance.
Every guest request, maintenance issue, and homeowner question is tracked in our operations hub with an owner, a status, and a deadline. Our team uses AI, including Anthropic’s Claude, to draft and organize. A person on our team reviews and sends every message, 24 hours a day, 365 days a year.
Monthly Rentals Inside an HOA
We Follow Your Rules, and We Know California’s
If your HOA sets a 31 day minimum, we run 31 days. We are not here to work around anyone’s rules.
If your HOA sets a 60, 90, or 120 day minimum for furnished stays, we go to the board with California civil code in hand. A stay of 30 days or more is a long term tenancy under state law, and bylaws that require a longer minimum are usually out of step with it. We ask the board to bring the bylaws in line, politely and in writing.
Transparent Pricing With No Hidden Fees
A Flat 20% Commission, and 15% on Long Monthly Stays
Every home pays a flat 20% commission on the accommodation fare. A $125 monthly platform fee covers software, guest messaging, pricing tools, and the booking engine. No onboarding fees and no vendor markups. See our full pricing breakdown.
When a monthly booking runs three months or longer, the commission on that booking drops to 15% automatically. Nothing to ask for and nothing to renegotiate. A long stay takes less work per booked night, so it costs less.
Monthly rentals are not cheaper to manage in general. We keep a broker of record on staff, which most property managers do not, and monthly guests get the same response times, maintenance and team on call that our short-term guests get.
As a licensed brokerage (DRE #02164159), we protect your interests and keep every stay compliant. We have hosted on Airbnb since 2012 and hold Superhost status with a 4.89 rating.

FAQ: Monthly Rentals in Los Angeles
1 - Do I need a permit for monthly furnished rentals in Los Angeles?
No. Monthly rentals of 30 days or more do not require a Home Sharing Permit or any STR registration in the City of LA. This makes monthly rentals an attractive option for homeowners whose properties do not qualify for short-term stays.
2 - Who typically books monthly furnished rentals?
We see a wide range: retirees spending a season in LA, corporate travelers on extended assignments, remote workers, families displaced by floods or renovations, empty nesters visiting their kids, and people relocating to LA who want to explore before committing to a long-term lease or purchase.
3 - Can I still use my home personally?
Yes. We build your calendar around your schedule and block time for personal use whenever you need it. Monthly rentals offer the flexibility that traditional long-term leases do not.
4 - How is Open Air Homes different from other property managers?
We are a licensed brokerage that treats monthly stays as what they are under California law, tenancies, with CAR leases and screening to match. We have hosted since 2012 and hold a 4.89 rating. In 2026, AirDNA ranked Open Air Homes #25 among US property managers, the only Los Angeles based company in its national top 100.
5 - What platforms do you list monthly rentals on?
We list your home on Airbnb, VRBO, Booking.com, Google Travel, and our direct booking site. For monthly rentals, we also often list on Zillow and Redfin to reach tenants searching for furnished housing.
6 - How quickly can I get my home listed?
If your home is rental ready, we can have you listed within 48 hours. If it needs staging or design assistance, onboarding typically takes about one week.
7 - What does monthly rental management cost?
Every home pays a flat 20% commission on the accommodation fare. We also charge a $125 monthly platform fee with no markups on maintenance or supplies. For stays over 3 months, our commission drops to 15%.
8 - Why do you use CAR contracts instead of Airbnb agreements?
CAR forms are the industry standard used by licensed California brokerages. They are designed for 30+ day tenancies and hold up in court if you ever need to enforce terms or address a tenant issue. Airbnb contracts are designed for short stays and do not provide the same legal protection for monthly rentals.
