Monthly Furnished Rentals in SoCal
A Fully Legal Alternative to Short-Term Rentals
🌴 Short-term rentals aren’t for everyone.
Frequent turnovers and changing regulations can create challenges, making management stressful. Monthly rentals offer a fully legal alternative, providing:
- Stable income with fewer turnovers
- Reduced day-to-day involvement
🌵 At Open Air Homes, we specialize in both Month+ (30+ day) and short-term rentals, offering:
- Flexible rental strategies tailored to homeowner needs
- Professional, compliant management (Licensed Real Estate brokerage, DRE #02164159)
We ensure your property is fully compliant, expertly managed, and optimized for success.
Why Homeowners Choose Monthly Rentals
A Flexible Alternative to STRs
🌴 Some homeowners prefer monthly rentals over short-term stays for reasons such as:
- 100% Legal & Fully Compliant: No short-term rental permits required.
- Less Wear & Tear: Fewer guests mean less frequent cleaning and maintenance.
- Stable Income with Flexibility: Earn 20-40% more than annual leases, while still retaining access to your home.
- Reduced Neighborhood Impact: Longer-term guests integrate better into the local community.
- High Demand Market: Highly appealing to corporate travelers, digital nomads, and relocating families.
Is Monthly Rental Management the Right Fit?
Helping You Find the Best Rental Strategy
🌵 Consider monthly rentals if you:
- Prefer steady income without frequent guest turnover.
- Are concerned about short-term rental regulations in your city.
- Want longer-term guests who typically care better for your home.
- Use your home seasonally and want to monetize it the rest of the year.
- Seek predictable and stable rental income.
🌴 If this aligns with your goals, our Month+ rental management service might be the perfect solution for you.
Our Brokerage Advantage – Fully Legal & Compliant
Ensuring Your Rental is Properly Managed

- Legally manage monthly rentals under California rental laws.
- Utilize official California Association of Realtors (CAR) contracts for professional lease agreements.
- Professionally handle tenant relations, reducing legal risks.
🌴 With Open Air Homes, your rental remains compliant, secure, and expertly managed.
Multi-Platform Marketing for Maximum Occupancy
Expanding Beyond Airbnb for More Bookings
🌵 Many property managers rely only on Airbnb—but we diversify your listing’s exposure to increase occupancy and income.
- Airbnb & VRBO – Reach both short-term and extended-stay travelers
- Zillow & Redfin – Market your property to renters searching for fully furnished homes
- Google Travel – Capture guests starting their search directly on Google
- Direct Bookings – Attract repeat guests and reduce dependency on third-party platforms
🌴 Our marketing strategy ensures your home reaches the right audience, maximizing rental potential.
Professional Management vs. Traditional Real Estate Agents
Why You Need a Monthly Rental Specialist
🌵 Most real estate agents charge 8-12% just to secure a lease, leaving you to manage everything else. At Open Air Homes, we offer:
- Dynamic pricing and occupancy optimization.
- Professional tenant screening and onboarding.
- Ongoing maintenance, cleaning, and guest support.
- Secure lease agreements using official CAR contracts.
Relying on a Real Estate agent to handle the lease is one thing, but the hospitality and property management of monthly furnished rentals in SoCal takes an entire team. This is where Open Air Homes comes in.
🌴 Our approach is perfect for homeowners seeking flexibility—renting their homes seasonally while maintaining professional management.
Why Experience Matters in Monthly Rentals
Protecting Your Home from Common Pitfalls
🌵 Monthly rentals require specialized expertise. Hiring an inexperienced manager could lead to:
- Legal issues due to improperly documented rentals.
- Tenant disputes and lease violations.
- Lost revenue from poor pricing strategies and mismanagement.
Monthly Furnished Rentals in SoCal when priced properly can hit nearly the same occupancy as short term rentals.
🌴 With 14+ years of experience, Open Air Homes ensures your rental remains compliant, financially optimized, and professionally managed.

💬 FAQ for Homeowners Considering Monthly Rentals
🌴 Are monthly rentals fully legal in my area?
Yes! Month+ rentals (30 days or more) are fully legal in most locations and do not require short-term rental permits.
In California, Transient Occupancy Taxes (TOT) apply only to stays under 30 days, and guests staying over 30 days gain tenant rights. Many property managers are not licensed brokerages and rely solely on Airbnb or VRBO rental contracts, assuming guests will leave as agreed.
However, under California law, a signed CAR (California Association of Realtors) lease agreement is necessary to legally enforce tenant departures if needed. While we have never had to evict a tenant in 14 years of business, eviction cases do happen in this industry. Using CAR contracts ensures legal protection and peace of mind for homeowners.
🌴 How do you find tenants for monthly rentals?
We use multi-platform marketing (Airbnb, VRBO, Zillow, Redfin, Google Travel, Direct Bookings) and conduct thorough tenant screening to find responsible, high-quality renters.
🌴 Do I need to provide a lease agreement for monthly rentals?
No, we handle everything! We use California Association of Realtors (CAR) contracts, ensuring your lease is professionally structured and legally sound. Each contract is signed by our Broker of Record and sent to guests via DocuSign for a seamless and secure process.
In California, guests staying over 30 days automatically gain tenant rights—and without a signed lease, homeowners have little legal protection. Our job is to protect you from these risks, ensuring every rental is properly documented and legally enforceable.
🌴 What happens if a tenant damages my home?
We conduct thorough inspections before and after each stay to document the condition of your home. Our cleaners upload photos through Turno, and our property managers take additional photos, ensuring comprehensive records for insurance purposes.
For any damage, we coordinate repairs and handle insurance claims as needed. The monthly rental market has largely moved beyond traditional security deposits in favor of traveler’s insurance (via Safely) and AirCover through Airbnb, providing homeowners with protection.
🌴 Can I still use my home when I want?
Yes! You can block dates for personal use, allowing you to enjoy your home while still earning rental income.
However, if you rely on monthly rentals, blocking just a few days here and there can make it much harder to secure longer stays. Since the minimum stay is 30 days, having an open calendar increases occupancy and revenue. Based on our experience, frequent blocked dates can significantly reduce overall earnings and limit booking opportunities.
