Why Choose Open Air Homes for Your Month+ Rental Needs?

Legal Compliance and Peace of Mind

Navigating the complex landscape of Los Angeles’ short-term rental regulations can be challenging. Many cities within LA County have banned or restricted short-term rentals, while Month+, Medium Term Rentals remain legal across California. Month+ rentals, or Medium Term Rentals, offer a compliant and hassle-free alternative, providing you with the opportunity to earn rental income without risking fines or penalties. By partnering with Open Air Homes, you’ll have the assurance that your property is managed in compliance with all relevant laws and guidelines.

Protecting You with CAR Forms and Brokerage Expertise

Open Air Homes has taken the extra step of becoming a licensed real estate brokerage, ensuring that all Month+ rental agreements are handled professionally and protectively. Guests staying for more than 30 days sign California Association of Realtors (CAR) forms, which legally safeguard both homeowners and guests. Given that guests staying for over 30 days in California have tenant rights, these CAR forms are essential for establishing a clear legal framework for each stay. This added layer of protection gives homeowners peace of mind, knowing that their property and interests are secure.

Maximize Earnings with Less Turnover

While traditional short-term rentals may offer higher nightly rates, Month+, Medium Term Rentals allow for a steady income stream without the frequent turnover associated with nightly stays. The revenue generated from Monthly rentals can be 20-30% less than that from short-term stays, but it often outpaces a standard year-long lease by 20-40%. This sweet spot allows you to make the most of your property without committing to a long-term lease, keeping your options open for personal use of the home throughout the year.

Month+, Medium Term Rentals: The Perfect Fit for Today’s Rental Market

As remote work becomes a permanent fixture in many industries, the demand for Medium Term Rentals and Month+ rentals is on the rise. Travelers are seeking the flexibility of longer stays, while still wanting the convenience of a fully furnished home. Month+ rentals cater to this new wave of remote workers, as well as snowbirds, professionals on extended assignments, and retirees looking to escape colder climates.

For homeowners affected by LA’s short-term rental restrictions, Month+ rentals present an ideal solution. With Open Air Homes, you can confidently offer Monthly rentals that are fully compliant, secure, and lucrative. Our team manages every aspect of the rental process, from initial guest inquiries to maintenance, mid-stay cleanings, and guest support, so you can enjoy the benefits of owning a rental property without the administrative hassle.

Month+ Rentals as a Solution for Rent-Stabilized (RSO) Properties

If you own a rent-stabilized (RSO) property in Los Angeles, you’re likely aware that short-term rentals are strictly prohibited. Month+ rentals, however, provide a viable alternative for owners of RSO properties who still want to utilize their homes periodically. Many RSO homeowners find that Monthly rentals help offset the cost of ownership, especially for those who only need their properties seasonally or occasionally.

At Open Air Homes, we are well-versed in the nuances of managing RSO properties for Month+ rentals. By ensuring that all rentals extend beyond the 30-day minimum, we can help you stay within legal limits while still generating income from your home when you’re not using it.
