Step 1: Basics. Property type (single-family, townhouse, condo, guesthouse, ADU, multifamily unit), bedroom and bathroom count, square footage, address, city, state, ZIP. The address is the field that drives most of the downstream search and matching, so put your real address. We use map fuzzing on the public listing so the exact pin is hidden from anonymous browsers; the precise address is shared with verified inquiries only.
Step 2: Location. A map view of the address from step 1, with a draggable pin if the geocoder put it slightly off. This is also where you confirm or correct the city and state we matched. Cities like Phoenix and Tampa have many submarkets that matter to professional tenants; the location step is where you confirm which one yours is in.
Step 3: Details. Furnishing level (fully furnished, partially furnished, unfurnished, negotiable), pet policy, parking, laundry, heating, cooling, year built, lease terms (minimum and maximum stay length, both falling inside the 30 days to 12 months window). The year-built field is also what triggers the federal lead-disclosure attachment for properties built before 1978.
Step 4: Amenities. A structured grid covering 47 common amenities across six categories: essentials, comfort and climate, kitchen and laundry, outdoor and parking, building and access, luxury. Use what is actually present. The reviewer cross-checks against your photos.
Step 5: Photos. Minimum eight, maximum 25. Eye-level, daylight, no filters, taken within the last 12 months. The first photo is your hero and shows up in search results. Lead with the room professional tenants care about most for your property type (kitchen for furnished, exterior for unfurnished, primary bedroom for studio or one-bedroom).
Step 6: Calendar. Availability windows. You can mark dates blocked, sync an external iCal feed (Google Calendar, Apple Calendar, your existing property-management software), or both. The calendar drives whether your listing surfaces in tenant searches that filter by move-in date.
Step 7: Documents. Optional. Lease template, house rules, inspection checklist. These do not show on the public listing; they share with verified inquiries when you choose. The landlord lease generator (built into your dashboard) can produce these for you if you do not have your own.
Step 8: Notifications. How you want to be reached when a tenant inquires. Email, in-app, push, or all three. Quiet hours, if you want them.
Step 9: Review. A read-through of every field before you commit to publishing. This is where you catch typos and bedroom-count mismatches before the human reviewer sees them.
Step 10: Payment. Stripe checkout for the subscription. The launch-promo discount applies here automatically if your slot is in the 1,500-ladder. After payment, the listing goes into the verification queue.
What human review looks for
A reviewer at Furnished Unfurnished reads the listing in full, opens every photo, and runs five checks: photos match description, location alignment, Fair Housing language compliance, reverse-image search, and factual accuracy on numerical claims. We wrote a separate piece on the verification process if you want the full detail.
In practice, a clean first submission goes verified in under one business day. A submission that needs revisions usually takes two to three days end to end. The reviewer does not silently reject; you get specific feedback on what to fix.
How to set rent
Furnished Unfurnished does not set or recommend rent for you. Mid-term rent is its own market, distinct from short-term and traditional leasing. As a rough framework, mid-term rent for a furnished property usually lands above traditional 12-month leasing for the same unit (because the furnishings, utilities included, and shorter-term flexibility carry a premium) and below short-term vacation-rental nightly rates annualized (because the tenant is committing to a multi-month stay).
Look at comparable listings on Furnished Unfurnished and adjacent platforms before you set your number. Set it to where you want the property to lease, not to where you would accept a lease. You can adjust at any time without losing your verified status.
What happens after a tenant inquires
When a professional tenant submits an inquiry, you get a notification through whichever channels you set in step 8. The inquiry includes the tenant's profile, their move-in target, their preferred lease term, and the message they wrote.
You reply through the in-platform messaging thread. If both sides want to move forward, you exchange the lease, run any screening you require (we do not run tenant screening for you; you run yours), and sign offline or through whatever document service you use. The lease is between you and the tenant. Furnished Unfurnished is the introduction.
Once the lease is signed and move-in is confirmed, you mark the placement in your dashboard. That is the only step we ask you to take, and it is for your records and ours, not for billing. The subscription is flat.
The 25-minute estimate
The wizard takes about 25 minutes if your photos are ready and your address and amenities are clear in your head. If you are starting from a Word document of property notes and a phone full of unsorted photos, expect closer to 45 minutes. The wizard saves at every step, so you can finish over a lunch break or across two evenings.
Verification adds one business day. Going live adds however long Stripe takes to settle the first payment, which is usually minutes.
You are listed in 25 minutes plus one business day, with one human review between you and the tenants who use this marketplace. That is the work the subscription buys.
