Why people switch from Airbnb (monthly stays)
No service fee on a long stay
A percentage service fee on two or three months of rent adds up fast. Furnished Unfurnished charges tenants nothing — you pay the rent, not a platform cut.
No cleaning fee on a monthly rental
A flat cleaning fee makes sense for a 3-night stay, not a 3-month one. Monthly rentals here are priced as rent, not a nightly rate with fees stacked on top.
Built for 30+ day stays
Listings are mid-term by design — no surprise “this place really wants a 3-night minimum.” Filter by lease length, furnished or unfurnished, and move-in date.
10% pledged to youth leadership
10% of every landlord subscription is pledged to the Nehmiyah Foundation, a 501(c)(3) youth-leadership nonprofit.
No service fee on a 60-day stay
On a two-month booking, a 14.1%–16.5% guest service fee can add hundreds of dollars on top of rent. On Furnished Unfurnished, tenants pay $0 in platform fees.
Frequently asked questions
- Is Furnished Unfurnished cheaper than Airbnb for a monthly stay?
- For most 30+ day stays, yes — there is no guest service fee and no per-stay cleaning fee. You pay the monthly rent the landlord sets and nothing to the platform.
- Do I pay a service fee?
- No. Tenants pay $0 in platform fees. Furnished Unfurnished does not add a guest service fee or take a cut of rent.
- How is this different from booking a monthly stay on Airbnb?
- Airbnb listings are short-term properties with a monthly filter applied, priced as a nightly rate plus service and cleaning fees. Furnished Unfurnished listings are built for 30+ day stays, you deal directly with the landlord, and there are no platform fees.
- What stay lengths are supported?
- Every listing is 30 days or longer — monthly, multi-month, and contract-length rentals.
- Is there a cleaning fee?
- No platform cleaning fee. Monthly rentals are priced as rent; any move-out cleaning terms are set directly between you and the landlord in the lease.
